    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.

    Experience the rich heritage and unparalleled nutrition of Minnesota Cultivated Wild Rice by Red Lake Nation Foods! This isn't just any rice—it's a treasured indigenous staple grown and harvested by the Red Lake Nation. Wild rice, Manoomin in Ojibwe, isn't technically rice, it's the seed of a marsh grass often called a pseudograin. Manoomin means "good seed." It packs a punch with more protein, minerals, and B vitamins than regular rice. Plus, it's gluten-free and low in fat, making it a perfect addition to any healthy lifestyle.

    Includes: 1.5 pound organic brown tepary beans and one 8 oz bag of Whole Kernel Cob Roasted Pima Corn

    Cooking Notes

    Brown Tepary Beans are a dense heirloom bean cultivated to grow in drought conditions so it takes longer to cook than some beans. Always salt the water when cooking for better texture and flavor. Cooking Times From Dry: Pressure Cooker for 40 minutes, Stovetop 2-3 hours

    Huun Ga'i should be rinsed and soaked for at least 2-4 hours but preferably overnight and simmered for 30 minutes until tender.

    Wild Rice should be rinsed and combined with water (3 cups of water per cup of wild rice). Bring to a boil and then cover and reduce to a low simmer for 45-60 minutes until tender but not mushy.
