Chiapas Black Bean (Frijol Negro de Vara)

Rare Black Beans from the Mexican State of Chiapas - Rancho Gordo-XOCOC Project

Our partners at Xoxoc in Mexico sent us some bags of beans they sourced in Chiapas from local farmers. We were first blown away by their appearance: beautiful and shiny, looking almost like glazed pottery. We cooked them and were immediately smitten.

We have a limited amount and if you like black or dark beans, we highly recommend trying them.

Yields about 6 cups of cooked beans.
