Mayocoba Bean
Free shipping on orders $50+
Creamy and versatile, Mayocoba has a pale yellow hue and super soft texture.
A classic, thin-skinned but meaty bean that will take on all the flavors you can throw at it but still hold its shape.
There is some debate over the origins of Mayocoba, and whether it's native to Mexico or Peru. Either way, it's now quite at home in our California beanfields. It is is also known as Canario or Peruano bean and is a common ingredient in Mexican soups and side dishes.

Best Beans
These beans are incredible. I love just eating them very simply in their own broth with some salt and herbs. The texture is so great and they are so creamy. I am also known to douse these in Trader Joe's "everything but the Elote" seasoning and eat them them all by themselves that way. Yum.

Best Mayocoba
These are the best mayocoba beans I have ever had! No other mayocoba bean stands a chance. I barely do anything to prep these beans, just saute onion, add cumin, and sometimes a dash of soy sauce. These are also one of my favorite Rancho Gordo beans.

Rancho Gordo beans.
Okay my son and daughter in law told me about these at least 10 years ago. I was not a bean person then but now I buy no other. Every year I get my son a gift box from you or a big box of beans. I am trying the Mayocoba today for the first time. My only complaint is we can’t ship to New Zealand where my daughter lives. She would love them. Dried beans are not easy to get there and shipped from Australia is expensive for substandard product.
This family is definitely a super fan.

Sublime
I never thought I’d describe a bean as sublime, but here I am. I brewed up my first pot of these beauties and promptly ran over here to order more. I agree with everyone else who has showed up to rave, but they would be lovely in recipes or all on their own.
