Earthy  •  Silky  •  Sturdy 

 

Oblong and flat, with a handsome burgundy coat, variations of this bean are found in kitchens across Latin America. Their mild earthy flavor and firm yet silky texture make them a terrific blank canvas for any number of cuisines. Beyond your favorite chili recipe, enjoy them in a variety of red bean dishes– Indian, Central American, Georgian (the country), and Creole. Harvested: Fall 2021

Pressure cooker rajma

This iconic North Indian bean stew is the ultimate comfort food. Like a classic chili, the beans are coated with a rich, heavily spiced, tomato-ey sauce. And, it is practically made for the electric pressure cooker.

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.

Nice earthy beans that meet all your red bean needs

I'm constantly coming across recipes that use kidney beans (Indian, South American, etc) that I want to make, but I've never been too impressed with red kidney beans. Now I've found a lovely, earthy bean that can replace them. Thanks Primary Beans!
