Nutty  •  Smooth  •  Supple 

These small, versatile beans come top of mind when thinking about Mediterranean-inspired dishes. We love their smooth, firm texture and mildly nutty flavor, making them a great candidate for really, anything– from hearty soups to herby salads. They readily absorb flavor and pair deliciously with lots of garlic, skin-on chicken, and fatty meats like chorizo or pancetta.  

Meaty  •  Velvety  •  Sturdy 

These majestic purple beans have deep roots in Oaxaca, traditionally served with smoky mole, and as a filling in masa street snacks. Complex and meaty, with a luxurious creamy yet firm texture, these beans make any meal special. Pair with similarly bold and assertive flavors dried chiles, earthy greens, and tangy cheese. We especially love them in dishes featuring their dark, flavorful broth.

Bacon-y  •  Creamy  •  Firm 

Popular in Central Mexico, these smooth, leather-colored beans are like a firmer, creamier pinto. We love their dense, smooth consistency and bacon-y notes, which pair perfectly with salty, tangy, and spicy flavors. These beans are one of the best choices for refried beans, frijoles de la olla, and other Mexican-inspired recipes. Serve on its own, or alongside grilled chicken.

Nutty  •  Silky  •  Hearty

These long, creamy white beans are quintessentially Tuscan and savored throughout Europe. We love their gentle, nutty flavor and silky yet firm texture. They’ll hold up in just about anything– slow-simmered soups and stews, pasta dishes, and marinated salads. They also make a luscious, super-smooth puree. Don’t skimp on the olive oil.

Chestnut-y  •  Velvety  •  Plump 

These striking red-and-cream marbled beans are beloved around the world, especially Northern Italy. And for good reason: we love their plumpness, nutty flavor, and velvety smooth texture. As a bonus, they produce a rich, meaty broth, making these beans one of the best choices for stews and other brothy dishes. They hold their shape well, so try them in pasta and salads too.

Sweet  •  Creamy  •  Smooth

These mid-sized beans with attractive pink-purple marbling are an old favorite in Central Mexico for brothy beans like frijoles charros. We love their creamy smooth texture and mildly sweet flavor, which goes perfectly with rich meats and spicy salsas. Cook them into a big pot of beans and garnish with allll the toppings.

Sweet   •  Buttery  •  Hearty 

These delightful yellow beans are beloved in Coastal Mexico for refried beans, and perfect for tacu tacu, a favorite in Peru to use up leftover beans and rice. We love their smooth, buttery texture and rich golden broth, making a brothy bowl of these beans a meal in and of itself. They have a mildly sweet flavor and are one of our top picks for recipes calling for white beans, where their creaminess can shine.

Earthy  •  Silky  •  Firm 

These small, flavorful beans are a favorite across Latin America. They make countless dishes famous, including Cuban frijoles negros and Brazilian feijoada. We love their creamy yet firm texture and complex earthy flavor. Enjoy them in soups and stews that feature their bold broth. Done right, and you get a thick, luscious broth that coats each bean.

Meaty  •  Velvety  •  Plump

These velvety smooth beans with their eye-catching dark stripes come from Northern Mexico - where flour tortillas, grilled meats, and fresh cheeses reign. We love their robust meaty flavor, full-bodied broth, and versatility. These plump beans are one of our top choices for recipes calling for pinto, but they also pair well with Mediterranean flavors (think: feta and greens).

Earthy  •  Silky  •  Sturdy 

Oblong and flat, with a handsome burgundy coat, variations of this bean are found in kitchens across Latin America. Their mild earthy flavor and firm yet silky texture make them a terrific blank canvas for any number of cuisines. Beyond your favorite chili recipe, enjoy them in a variety of red bean dishes– Indian, Central American, Georgian (the country), and Creole.

Chocolate-y  •  Rich  •  Plump

These stunning beans started as a spontaneous cross (by bees!) between 2 parent beans: Rio Zape and Anasazi. After noting how special they were, our farm partner, Rio del Rey, saved and regrew them so that they could live on as a brand-new variety.  We love their rich chocolate-y flavor, creamy plumpness, and the variation among each bean– a mix between spotted and striped. It’s a bean you won’t find anywhere else, and they're best by the spoonful, straight out of the pot.

Earthy  •  Velvety  •  Rustic 

These flavorful white beans are worthy of celebratory occasions in Mexico, commonly savored with pork and pickled jalapeños. We’re big fans– there is something special about the large size, complex earthy flavor, and velvety smooth texture. These beans work equally well with Mediterranean flavors, just like their cousins the Corona and Gigante. Whatever the cuisine, they add body and creaminess to dishes where size matters– salads, saucy dishes, and gratins.

Nutty  •  Rich  •  Firm

These tiny speckled beans (yes, the speckles are a blue hue!) hail from the high desert and they love the bold, zesty flavors of the Southwest. We’re obsessed with their rich nutty flavor and firm bite, which bring soups, stews, and salads to new heights. What’s more, tepary beans are among the most drought- and heat-tolerant crops, and their genetics are treasured by farmers and breeders around the world.

These small plum-colored beans are a favorite for making rajma, a classic North Indian comfort meal. We love their exceptionally silky texture and rich broth. These beans shine in robustly spiced curries, but are equally delicious as simple brothy beans. We recommend naan or other crusty bread for dunking.
