Mayocoba Peruvian Beans (Sold In Bulk)
Mayocoba beans, also known as Peruvian beans or Canario beans, are small, oval-shaped beans with a creamy texture and a mild, slightly nutty flavor. They are a popular choice in Latin American cuisine, particularly in Peru, where they are used in a variety of dishes, from soups and stews to bean salads and casseroles.
These beans cook relatively quickly compared to other varieties, and they have a smooth, velvety texture when cooked, which makes them perfect for creamy soups, dips, and bean-based spreads. Mayocoba beans are also great for making refried beans or using in chili, as they hold their shape well but also break down to create a nice consistency.
In addition to being delicious, Mayocoba beans are highly nutritious. They are a great source of protein, fiber, iron, and other vitamins and minerals, making them a wholesome and filling ingredient.
To cook Mayocoba beans, you’ll need to soak them overnight (or use a quick-soak method) and then cook them in fresh water for about 45-60 minutes, depending on the desired tenderness.
