  • Plump, soft, and thin-skinned with a mild flavor.

  • BASIC DRY BEAN COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
    Rinse beans and check for debris. In a large pot, cook aromatic vegetables of your choice (onions, garlic, celery, leeks, carrots, etc.) in olive oil. Add the beans and enough water to cover by a few inches. Bring to a full boil for 10 minutes, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Gently cook until soft but not falling apart. Cooking time depends on the bean, typically 1 to 3 hours. Salt when the beans start to soften. Pre-soaking the beans for 2 to 6 hours will reduce the cooking time. Enjoy!

  • We ship out orders every Friday! Orders placed after 9 a.m. on Friday will ship the following Friday.
