Rancho Gordo - Moro - Heirloom Bean

Moro Beans are heirloom legumes originating from Puebla, Mexico, with a variant featuring purple hues cultivated in Hidalgo. These beans exhibit a unique appearance, often described as a cross between black and pinto beans, and are prized for their rich, dense texture and flavorful broth. Rancho Gordo, based in Napa, California, collaborates with Mexican farmers through the Rancho Gordo-Xoxoc Project to preserve and promote these traditional varieties. The beans' velvety yet solid consistency makes them suitable for various culinary applications.
