Organic Pinquito Beans
1 pound of certified organic heirloom Pinquito beans grown on our farm in San Gregorio, CA. The Pinquito bean was brought to Santa Maria, California by migrant citrus farmworkers in the 1950s. These beans are known to be the heart of traditional Santa Maria-style barbecue alongside beef tri-tip.

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! -
