I cooked the beans for two hours and then made chili with ours. I loved it! Way better than kidneys. I can’t wait to try more recipes with them.

Holy Beans & Rice
A podcast gave me the idea to try a bean club. I am so glad i did. My first shipment was teh Chaparro and Carolina Conch Peas with the blue corn meal. Admittedly, I havent tried the corn meal but a friend of mine is going to teach me how to make tortillas.
The chaparro are easily the best black beans i've ever eaten. They are so smooth and creamy and have a sweetness that could make it a dessert! So fresh didnt even need to soak much, I just did 2 hours of soaking then popped em in the rice cooker with some rice and they cooked evenly it was astounding.
The Carolina Conch peas were extra fresh too! They are bright and tastey and such an excellent addition to grain bowls or soup wow! Thank you so much foodocracy!

Brings out the flavor
Sprinkling just a bit over our freshly harvested vegetables really brings out the flavor nicely a little bit goes a long way so that’s wonderful

Sunrise Beans from Blue House Farm
I cooked these beans with onion, garlic, kombu and thyme and ate them with grated Parmesan. These are really, really good beans. Creamy in texture and lots of flavor. A favorite!

Loving "Curated" Rice & Beans
I've long known that rice and beans were supposed to be a great combination, but I'm getting unexpected pleasure from my first "curated" (surely an overworked word these days, but appropriate here) shipment. Rice and beans are given a personality by the explanations of how they are produced, and the accompanying recipe turned out well. I look forward to the future packages.

Amazing!
I used a recipe I found here on the site for brothy beans. So easy and delicious! In ~3 hours the beans were perfectly cooked and I had not pre-soaked them.
