Negro beans (organic)

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.

Frijoles de la olla

If you've never had frijoles de la olla, your life is about to be changed. We’ve experimented with enough variations to know that the ultimate Mexican-style brothy beans comes from a two-step process: 1) cook up a well-seasoned pot of beans, and 2) fold in a caramelized sofrito.

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.

The best beans I've ever had!

I love black beans, but usually go for ease with Organic canned.
But these... I could eat them for every meal!

Beautiful Beans!

First thing you notice is how beautiful the black beans are and the packaging is real nice. Just looking at them motivates you to be creative. I've done two dishes with them both with a south of the border style. On top of the usual hot spices, I like to add sausage or bacon. I usually sauté the meat in the Instant Pot, pull it out, and then cook veggies, before the beans.

My favourite new thing is to eat beans for lunch in a variety of ways. But of course I like them for breakfast as well. They power me evenly all day. We are looking forward to mixing them into a southwestern style pizza soon.
