Large runner bean with somewhat thick skin and starchy flesh.

Its big, beefy texture is a good fit for those trying to cut out meat and eat a more plant-based diet, or for vegetarians looking for a hearty meal. Ayocote Morados provide a deep, bouillon-flavored bean broth, making them ideal for soups.

Part of the Rancho Gordo-Xoxoc Project. You can read more about it here: Rancho Gordo Xoxoc-Project..

Yields about 6 cups of cooked beans.

The U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends eating about 1 to 3 cups of legumes, including beans, per week. If you eat about ½ cup of beans every day, you’ll meet the weekly Dietary Guidelines for legumes.

And when you consider the fact that USDA MyPlate guidelines count beans as both a vegetable and a plant-based protein source, you’ll begin to see how easy it is to put more beans in your diet. Source: The Bean Institute https://beaninstitute.com/nutrition-health/beans-nutrition-overview/
