    Bean Beauties Set

    Four heirloom beans almost too stunning to cook — almost. Each one brings dramatic color, exceptional texture, and serious depth of flavor to whatever you're making, from simple frijoles de olla to long-simmered stews and braises. All grown without glyphosate on small family farms using traditional farming methods.

    Medianoche — A breathtaking mix of black, purple, and cream Ayocote beans from the Sierra Nevada foothills of Puebla. Big, meaty, and creamy with a rich broth as dramatic as their appearance.

    Vaquita Negro — Named "vaquita" (little cow) for their striking black-and-white markings, these rare beans from Morelos produce an inky, deeply flavored pot liquor that Mexican cooks have prized for generations.

    SW Gold — Our certified organic Southwestern Gold cooks up to a gorgeous golden hue with a buttery, velvety texture and a broth so rich you'll want to sip it straight from the pot.

    Flor de Mayo — These heritage beans from Mexico bloom into a beautiful speckled pattern and release a subtle floral sweetness into broth that tastes like cream with a hint of spring.

    4 bags, each 1 lb in a 100% curbside recyclable standup pouch.

    These beans look so cool and are just a wonderful all-around bean. I’ve used them for bean patties in vegan burgers and in a three-bean chili.

    Delicious!

    We made an italian barley and bean soup that called for cannellinis and black beans with these in place of the black beans. I also used the pot liquor in the soup and it was one of the most delicious and hearty soups I ever made. Will definitely use these again.

    Beautiful, Unique Heirloom Beans!

    These beans are absolutely beautiful, with their rich, dark coloring. I love discovering unique heirloom varieties, and these are a wonderful addition to my pantry. Their hearty texture and rich, earthy flavor make them especially appealing for slow-cooked dishes, soups, and stews. A lovely alternative to everyday beans, and definitely worth trying!

    new and exciting

    This was my first time trying these and I love them. They stay firm and hold their shape when fully cooked. I made a simple soup bean with country ham, garlic, broth, and some greens. These were also very fresh and did not need to be soaked.

    Delicious!

    Cooked a half cup of the southwest beans in 4 cups of water, InstantPot high pressure for 15 minutes, came out perfect with delicious broth. Tried an Ottolenghi recipe from his new book, beans with preserved lemon, onions and a bunch of other stuff, really really good. Love the beans’ texture, so creamy. Took the leftovers and mixed with ground turkey, egg, bread crumbs and a bunch of other stuff, baked as meatballs, so flavorful and complex. And they freeze well! Thanks for asking…

    Best chili ever!

    We make chili a lot, but chili made with Sungold Beans was amazingly good. It felt healthy with every bite.

    So amazing!

    Made white chicken chili with these beans and they were the star! These beans make any soup a winner!

    Excellent product

    Used these in a simple, but nourishing, soup with onion, garlic, carrot, bacon, generic Italian seasoning, and a "super greens" mix (spinach, kale, etc.). Made it happen in the Instant Pot and the beans came out absolutely perfect. Highly recommend!

    Delicious beyond compare. Pressure cooked the dry beans as directed on their site and they were perfect. The broth alone is delicious with nothing added.

    Best refritos ever!

    The Flor de Mayo beans should come with a warning:
    Highly addictive! They cooked up beautifully, and the taste and texture are nothing short of luscious using only water. I'm hooked!

    SO Good!

    Cooked them on the stovetop with just salt and kombu and then made the suggested salad. My (somewhat) picky family has asked me to bring the salad to the lake with us. Will definitely purchase again if they become available.

    Love

    I used Ayocote Medianoche beans and made the recipe that was given for the bean salad. It was lovely! The flavor and hardiness of the bean was so nice! We enjoyed the salad so much that my husband requested I get more to make the salad again. If you haven’t tried this you must! It is delicious!

    Ayocote Medianoche

    wonderful bean--esp the texture for its size!

    Amazing!

    Generally speaking, I am not a lover of the larger beans (I'm more of a Peruano- or Tepary-sized bean person) but these are awesome. I did a down and dirty cook on them - salt and a couple of cloves of garlic - and they were creamy and held their shape without the skin being tough. I couldn't stop picking at them in the pot! A heads up - they cook a lot faster than you'd think given their size.

    Best Bean Ever

    I received my order 2 days ago and soaked the beans overnight the pressure cooked with roasted poblanos. . They are amazing. Fat, plump, meaty and a perfect skin. I hope these will be available year round. I just ordered 2 more pounds.

    Yum

    These are really good. I like the creamy texture and that they hold their shape, which makes them great on their own or in a salad. I simmered mine with Reishi mushroom and kombu seaweed, onion, garlic and chili flakes and it made a great flavorful broth.

    I want to keep it a secret!

    I recently got my Bean and Grain Club order that included Ayocote Medianoche beans. I think these are my favorite beans ever. I don’t know if I can explain just what it is about them but I can eat them without anything on them which is exactly what I have been doing! They are so good that I’ve ordered three more bags just to make sure I don’t run out anytime soon!

    I really enjoyed these. Being that I had never heard of them, I thought i would give them a try, since I have purchased several others from Foodacracy, and none have disappointed me yet. Excellent quality. Will be buying again.

    Creamy texture and great flavor

    Too bad you have to cook these sweeties, because they're so cute when they're dry! Nice creamy texture when cooked and they make a nice broth.

    ÝUmmy beans

    Made a pot of vaquita negro beans according to your suggested recipe and they were wonderful.. They had a smooth texture and a rich velvety flavor. Thanks to the farmers who made this possible.
