    Organic Black Tepary Beans

    $13.95

    These Non-GMO heirloom black beans are a very rare variety of the Native American tepary bean, grown on an Indigenous, women-owned, certified organic farm. They are a delicious and more nutritious  alternative to traditional black beans. Born of an ancient tradition of separating the black seeds before planting the white or brown teparies, the black seeds were selected, planted, grown, and harvested over several years to bring out the hidden traits of this unique tepary bean. The s-chuuk bavi (black tepary bean) has a firm, meaty texture and a distinctive flavor with a hint of lime that makes it perfect for Mexican cuisine. Try them in replace of black beans in all of your favorite recipes.

    Tepary beans are  the original superfood of the Sonoran Desert having sustained Native American people for countless generations. Ramona Farms shares with us their traditional foods grown on the ancestral lands of the Akimel O'Odham (Gila River Pima) tribe in Arizona's Sonora Desert. An ingredient in the Slow Food Ark of Taste, the tepary bean is believed to be the world’s most drought tolerant bean, and higher in fiber and protein than most other beans with a low glycemic index and superior taste.

    Excellent bean

    I am new to the Black Tepary Bean and cooked them in my Instant Pot with Kombu, onion, garlic, bay leaf, salt and olive oil. It is a very flavorful bean, different from a “regular” black bean. Rich. I used 2 cups of the cooked beans in a salmon salad and dinner was a 10! I’m back to order more beans.

    Looks good, haven't cooked them yet. The inner bag broke in the box but I was able to save them into a jar.

    These beans are a revelation!

    I had never heard of black tepary beans (or any of the other colors, for that matter). As I seem to be on a black bean bender, these seemed like the thing to try.

    New (to me) beans means I soak and cook them with a minimum of additions. In this case, I added a little garlic and salt to the soaking water, and that was it.

    O.M.G.! These little things are so delicious! They did swell with the soaking and cooking, but they remain relatively small. They have a flavor that I find hard to describe. What I can say is, I find them to be wonderfully flavorful, firm, and they create a lovely broth.

    I hope they don't become so popular that they have to be limited.

    This website was a real find!

    I used my black tepary beans to make a bean dip and it was excellent. Everyone wanted to know where I got the beans. I had soaked them overnight as directed and it said to cook 2-3 hours, but it only took 2 hours and they were perfect.
    Haven't tried my brown or white tepary beans, but I'm sure they will be just as good.

    Yummie

    These little beans took a LONG time to cook. It even says so on the bag. But the FLAVOR is yummie, and they sat well on my tummie.
