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.

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.

Love your selection

It is great to be able to find our favorite beans in dry form. Canned beans are just never as nice. Thank you for offering such a nice assortment.

I have bought these more than once

I love the flor de junio the most. They have this naturally smoky sensation that really goes well in tacos especially for my vegetarian warrior out there. Love love love!!!

My new favorite

These are my new favorite bean. I love all of your beans, but these have such rich, subtle flavor and cook up so nicely they've been the basis for all kinds of dishes this winter. I usually cook a whole batch at once and freeze some for later. These hold up well and we love them in a chili with smoky Mexican spices, or sometimes with rice, chicken and vegetables seasoned with Middle Eastern spices. Your cooking instructions are so simple I've mostly stopped buying canned beans. LOVE Primary Beans!

Frijoles de la olla

First time using the pressure cooker method and the Flor de Junio beans. Usually go half a day in a slow cooker.
Made my go to pot bean recipe which was a pound of beans with onion, garlic, salt, lard, spices with a guajilo and an ancho chili and chicken broth for the liquid.

40 minute, low pressure cook. Beans were tender but still had some tooth-someness
The liquid was flavorful but very liquid. The next day the leftovers were better. The flavors had merried and muted a little, the beans had softened a little more and the broth had thicked quite a bit. I preferred it this way.
Next time I am making this a day ahead so it can develop overnight post cook.

Good beans, better than pintos by far.
