Default Black soybeans

Have been seriously craving beans recently, and apparently black soy beans are pretty good as a low-ish substitute for the more starchy kinds... BUT haven't seen them anywhere in the UK. If anyone has spotted them in London, or know of an internet site i could order them from, would love to know... Thanks!

I found dried soy beans ina Chinese supermarket - they take AGES and I do mean AGES to cook down to tender. I boiled them (no salt) for an hour then simmered them for 3 and they were STILL crunchy so in the end I put them in the slow cooker with a LOT of liquid and cooked them out overnight. Finally they got soft so I made barbecue beans.
