Organic Zuni Gold Beans
1 pound of certified organic heirloom Zuni Gold beans grown on our farm in San Gregorio, CA. The Zuni Gold bean was first cultivated by the Pueblo peoples in what is now known as the Four Corners region of the United States. Highly drought-tolerant and adaptable, these beans have a deep genetic history in the American southwest. Wonderful with spicy flavors.

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! -
