A rare heirloom variety native to the American Southwest, Black Tepary Beans are prized for their firm texture, rich flavor, and exceptional nutrition. Naturally high in protein and fiber with a low glycemic index, these drought-tolerant beans have been cultivated by Indigenous communities for generations and remain an important traditional food of the desert Southwest. Born of an ancient tradition of separating the black seeds before planting the white or brown teparies, the beans were grown, harvested, and selected over many years to bring out the hidden traits of this unique variety. Their firm texture and subtle, rich flavor work beautifully in soups, stews and salads. Indigenous to the American Southwest, tepary beans have long been grown by Native communities for their drought tolerance and remarkable nutrition - offering a rich source of fiber and protein with a low glycemic index.
