Ayocote Morado beans (organic)

$9.00


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. Harvested: Fall 2021

Beans with greens and sausage recipe by Primary Beans

May we suggest...

Chipotle baked beans with cilantro pesto

This recipe was just made for the plump, sturdy, and creamy nature of our Ayocote Morado beans. These large beans really shine when bathed in the smoky chipotle-tomato sauce and topped with bright cilantro pesto.

Sourcing notes

The state of Zacatecas, northwest of Mexico City, has a rich history of thriving nomadic tribes as old as the Aztecs, and is the original site for some of the world’s first beans. Today, thousands of experienced small-scale farmers are Mexico’s leading producers of guavas, chiles, nopales, and, of course, beans– benefiting from the sunny, semi-arid climate and rich, red soils. We partnered with Armando Klein of Darmstadt Organics, who helped organize the farms in his community into a cooperative– so that they can benefit from shared resources and collectively innovate, like achieving organic certification and promoting crops that are important symbols of regional identity.

My current favorite beans!

This is my second purchase of the Ayacote Morado. I cook them as suggested in the Instapot with garlic, a dash of oil and a romano cheese rind. Mixed with sauteed Chard, with some aleppo pepper & romano sprinkled on top. Simple, delicious and satisfying.

So much flavor!!!

I cooked these and mixed them with its blanco counterpart in a broth recipe and it was incredible. Natural flavors were so unique and hardly needed any salt. So tasty!!!!’

My new favorite beans

If you are looking for a hearty, flavorful bean, look no further. I started cooking beans in the last year or so with mixed success on doneness and hands down these beans have been the best I've tried. They cooked perfectly when I followed the provided pressure cooker instructions and the beans could still hold up to a lively simmer when I went to cook down the broth a bit. Perfect!

Absolutely delicious.

These beans were SOMETHING ELSE. Super savory and filling. My partner and I just ate them as is, but I imagine they'd be good in just about anything.

Incredible flavor !

Alll of the beans I have tried have been so flavorful ! and the descriptions you have given hold true. There is a great variety from the white beans to the Ayocote Morado beans are rich and bold and complex just as you describe them. Even after all the cooking, slow style of several hours.
Thank you for a special product. And for your efforts for partnering with the organic growers like Dormstadt Organics!!!
