Beloved by cooks in Central Mexico for its rich flavor and pretty pattern, this ear-shaped bean (also known as “media oreja”) will take your favorite pinto dishes to the next level. Our favorite way to enjoy it is simply – as refried or brothy beans.
Fresh Beans = Last Year's Harvest! Don't worry—this is actually when beans are freshest. After fall harvest, they spend winter being carefully processed and are bagged fresh each spring. So 2024 beans in 2025 means peak freshness! We believe beans are best within 2 years of harvest (others say 3), ensuring you get the finest quality.
