These absolutely delicious single-origin butter-yellow heirloom beans have thin skins and a lusciously creamy texture that makes pinto beans seem ordinary in comparison! Dubbed the "king of beans" by Latin chefs, Peruano (also called canario) beans are incredibly flavorful and wonderfully versatile, spectacular in everything from silky refried beans to hearty soups. Many people swear these golden beauties are easier on digestion and far less gas-producing than other beans. We are truly honored to offer these extraordinary regional specialties from a small family farm that has lovingly preserved these precious seeds for generations with no dangerous chemicals, no synthetic fertilizers, no GMOs and giving back more to the land than they take. There's endless debate about Peruano, Canario, and Mayocoba beans, with some claiming they're identical, but they're actually distinct varieties! The bright yellow Peruvian Canary bean, when introduced to Mexico, was called Peruano to distinguish it from Mexico's existing duller yellow Canario variety. In 1978, Mexican agronomists crossed these two varieties to create Mayocoba, named after a village in Sinaloa state.
