The Vaquita Negro, or Black Cow, bean is among the rarest varietals they offer, with black-and-white speckled skins that persist through cooking and yield a rich, dark, nutritious broth. Their texture is firm yet creamy, with a mild earthy flavor and size that are comparable to pinto beans—but better. We love using these beans anywhere we’d reach for a pinto: soups, chili, refried beans, frijoles charros, you name it. They’re flavorful enough to stand on their own—with plenty of rice or tortillas to sop up the broth—yet mild enough to play a supporting role. Best of all, every box of beans supports Mexican farmers who grow them and the traditional agriculture as a whole, which keeps heritage seeds and farming practices alive for the next generation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNet Weight: \u003c\/b\u003e19.4 ounces\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIngredients: \u003c\/b\u003eHigh-Quality Black Cow Beans, Unprocessed Seeds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlace of Origin: \u003c\/b\u003eTotolapan, Morelos, Mexico\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow to Use: \u003c\/b\u003eUse these speckled heirloom beans in chili, soups, marinated salads or any recipe that calls for pintos.

The Bull’s Blood bean is the largest varietal we’re offering, with smooth, deep red skins that produce a rich, dark, nutritious broth as they cook. Landing somewhere between a pinto and a kidney bean in terms of flavor, these large red beans are a natural fit for chili, soups, stews or any application that calls for a long, leisurely braise. (Especially any pork dish.) La Comandanta describes the Bull’s Blood bean as a “tiny potato,” and in both texture and flavor, they’re absolutely right. These are creamy in texture and flavorful enough to stand on their own—with plenty of rice or tortillas to sop up the broth—yet mild enough to play a supporting role.
