Silver Swan Salted Black Beans (100 g) are a premium fermented black soybean product—also known as “tausi” or “douchi”—popular in Chinese and Southeast Asian cooking. These beans are meticulously preserved in salt, then naturally fermented, resulting in a rich, umami-packed condiment that adds depth and character to any dish.

Upon fermentation, the black soybeans become soft yet retain a slightly firm, dry texture, offering bursts of savory, mildly sweet, and subtly bitter flavors. Their aroma is pungent and distinctly fermented, contributing vibrant complexity to stir-fries, steamed fish, sauces, and savory stews . Because the beans are heavily salted, they’re best gently rinsed or soaked before use to balance their intense flavour.
