Free shipping on orders $50+
Ayocote Blanco Beans are a versatile mid-sized white bean originating from Mexico that offers a creamy texture while maintaining its shape during extended cooking.
Ayocote Blanco is a dense, flavorful bean with a thick skin. When completely cooked, its creamy and starchy texture attains a delicate potato-like taste.
Originally from Oaxaca, Mexico, the Ayocote family was one of the first cultivated crops of the Americas. They are grown all over central and northern Mexico but are more prevalent in indigenous communities.

I cooked them with fresh bay leaf, sa...

The outside texture was the perfect firmness on the tongue but the softness ...
