Brazilian Black Beans

[Androcles]

Does anybody know a source in the UK for the tiny Brazilian Black Beans used in feijoada, their bean and meat stew?

I had some in Rio years ago and it was delicious and now have a recipe I want to try out. (Not sure about the pig's ears, tail and naughty bits though!)

You can definately get them in Waitrose. If not, try your local health food shop or from here:

Hope this helps.

You can buy them in Sainsbury's , at least the ones we buy are called black beans. They are in the dried dept , in a bluey browny bag.
