Beloved by chefs and revered as "the noblest bean" by The Washington Post, this rare organic grown heirloom bean comes to us from family owned Fifth Crow Farms. It will blow your mind as a refried bean, and it makes an amazing mole taco!  

The Rio Zape bean is a true Mexican heirloom treasure, beloved for its beautiful mottled appearance and exceptional flavor. The name "Rio Zape" comes from the Zape River region where these organic heirloom beans have been grown for generations.

What sets Rio Zape apart is its remarkable ability to hold its shape during long cooking while developing an incredibly rich, almost meaty flavor. The beans create a luxurious, dark broth that's perfect for hearty dishes. Their firm texture and robust taste make them ideal for Mexican classics like frijoles de la olla, but they're equally at home in contemporary dishes where you want beans that can stand up to bold flavors and extended cooking times.
