Beans
Welcome to the world of heirloom beans. Now you can see for yourself what all the fuss is about, from the company that put heirloom beans on the map. You'll receive:
RIO ZAPE: The flavor is reminiscent of pintos but there is so much more going on here. You'll detect traces of coffee and chocolate and the velvety texture is like nothing else.
SANGRE DE TORO: A classic red bean from the heart of Mexico. Whether it's New Orleans red beans and rice, chili or just a bowl of beans, I think Sangre de Toro (or "Bull's Blood") is a tremendous bean.Dense and meaty, it has a good pot liquor and can be used whenever red beans are called for.
YELLOW EYE: Unlike Navy beans, which have a slightly gummy, babyfood texture, Yellow Eyes are dense, creamy and delicious. Great Northerns can be plain boring. Replace Navys or Great Northerns with Yellow Eyes and your dish becomes a feast. You can have them on their own or use them with a smoked ham hock.
CLASSIC CRANBERRY: Cranberry beans only look like cranberries. And even then, I don't quite see it. Originally from South America, these beans have been bred around the world and have become Madeira, Borlotti, Tounges of Fire, Wren's Egg and many more. This is the classic from Colombia and are perfect for any recipe calling for a "cranberry" bean.
BROWN TEPARY: an a bean be romantic? We think so! Teparies are indigenous to North America and were developed by Native Americans to be drought-tolerant. Higher in protein and fiber than other beans (which are already super foods), what more can you ask for in food? Flavor and texture? You got it! The small beans plump up a bit but keep a meaty, dense texture.
