Rancho Gordo - Ayocote Morado - Heirloom Bean

Rancho Gordo's Ayocote Morado Beans are heirloom runner beans originating from Oaxaca, Mexico. Cultivated across central and northern Mexico, these large, purple beans are among the first domesticated crops of the Americas. Known for their thick skins and substantial size, they transform from dense to creamy with extended cooking. Rancho Gordo, based in Napa, California, is dedicated to preserving traditional bean varieties and supporting sustainable agriculture. These beans offer a deep, bouillon-flavored broth, making them ideal for hearty soups and stews .
