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.

Sacramento Valley has a long history of producing butter beans, which love its warmer climate compared to other California regions. Chris Capaul’s family has been growing diverse beans and vegetables since 1915 – in fact, he still has the original horse-drawn bean cutter! While bean production has declined and farms have gotten bigger through consolidation, Chris stands out as an innovator – perfecting his rotations of vine-type baby butter beans and rice, and preserving Speckled Bayo beans, a rare variety his father once grew. His careful growing methods nurture the land and produce beans far richer in flavor.

Great beans, but soo many rocks

My partner and I love using these beans as the base for big batches of breakfast burritos. They stand up really well to being cooked, frozen, and reheated. Unfortunately, we find rocks in these beans more often than any other variety or vendor we’ve ever tried. I visually inspect, run my hands through, and rinse in a colander, but some always make it through. I can’t move the beans one by one into the pot before cooking to stave off the fear of cracked teeth, so we’re going to go with different beans/vendors in the future.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this feedback with us. We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience with our Flor de Mayo beans—it’s not the kind of impression we want to leave. These beans are harvested with care and hand-sorted to remove any agricultural debris, so we regret that a few sneaky rocks made their way through. While we strive for perfection, we always recommend giving your beans a quick once-over before cooking to catch anything we might have missed. We’d love the opportunity to make this right and send you a replacement bag. Just send us a quick note at hello@primarybeans.com. Thanks again!

Good but not my favorite

I made red beans and rice with the Flor de Mayo beans. It was tasty, but what I don’t like is the thicker skins on these beans. I think I’m leaning toward some of the more delicate varieties. I love these beans however, and highly recommend then to my friends

Beans 'n' Rice 5 star, but couldn't get it to work....

The other day I cooked up a pot of Alubia beans and long grain brown rice together. I added the salt and pepper along with some chopped onions and chopped garlic and cooked for about 45 minutes. A taste test of the broth let me know that I needed a bit more salt and a can of Hatch diced green chilis. Cooking another 25 minutes and adding hot water as needed and perfecto. The left overs have been served as is and as the filling for enchiladas and burritos. Super yum!

Flor de Mayo Sourced Again

I tried Flor de Mayo beans about 10 years ago and loved them. However they suddenly disappeared from midwestern U.S. markets. I never gave up searching because the taste was fabulous. So glad to have discovered Primary Beans as a source.

I haven’t cooked those yet but

I did cook the Southwest Gold. My sister and daughter really liked them. I don’t like beans but I was able to eat these so they must be really good. Hopefully I will acquire a taste for beans since they are so healthy. Going to order again

Hearty and Delicious

These beans are so flavorful, meaty, and yummy. I've been eating them with chimichurri and warm corn tortillas. I had no idea beans could have so much flavor on their own.
