Frequently Asked Questions

Seoantae is a versatile staple in traditional Korean cooking. It's most commonly simmered with soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil to make kongjaban, a glossy braised side dish served alongside rice at nearly every Korean meal.
The two are closely related black soybean varieties, but they differ in what's inside. Seoantae has a pale yellow interior and a mellow, mild flavor, making it the more commonly used variety for everyday cooking like kongjaban and rice dishes. Seomoktae, the green-kernel variety, has a vivid green interior and a slightly bolder, more pronounced nutty taste, and is often considered the more prized or specialty option.
Yes, soaking is recommended. Place the beans in water for at least 6-8 hours or overnight before cooking. This softens the outer skin, shortens the cooking time significantly, and helps the beans cook more evenly whether you're braising them, adding them to rice, or including them in a soup.
Yes. Seoantae holds its shape well during longer cooking times, making it a great addition to soups and stews. As it simmers, it releases a subtle nutty flavor into the broth and adds a satisfying, tender bite.
Seoantae has a mild, gently nutty flavor with a slightly earthy undertone. Once cooked, it becomes soft and tender, almost creamy in texture, without the firmness sometimes found in other bean varieties.
Yes. As a variety of black soybean, Seoantae is naturally rich in plant-based protein, along with dietary fiber and antioxidants from its dark outer skin. It's a popular ingredient for those looking to incorporate more plant-based protein into their diet through whole, minimally processed foods rather than processed soy products.

Traditional rat-eye bean with yellow inside

Finding genuine Seoantae in the US with the bright yellow interior can be tricky. This brand is fresh and clean. Cooked them with mixed grains and brown rice (Japgokbap) - adds great color, fiber, and a savory roasted aroma to every bowl. 2lb bag is a solid quantity for the pantry.

Very good quality

Clean beans with rich black coat. Takes a bit of time to simmer on the stove if you don't pressure cook, but the texture and flavor are worth the wait.

Creamy inside, nutty outside

Roasted a batch in a dry pan for a healthy evening snack and used the rest in our dinner rice. You can see the distinct yellow kernel once they split open. No weird chemical smell, just pure heirloom beans.
