Ayocote Blanco Beans - Creamy, Nutty, Rich

Experience the rich culinary heritage of Mexico with Rancho Gordo Heirloom Ayocote Blanco Beans. These mid-sized, ivory-white beans are a staple of traditional Oaxacan cuisine and are celebrated for their dense, creamy texture and subtle, potato-like flavor. Unlike many white beans, Ayocote Blanco holds its shape beautifully during long cooking times, making it ideal for hearty soups, stews, and slow-cooked dishes.

Grown in the highlands of central and northern Mexico, particularly in indigenous communities, these heirloom beans are part of the ancient Ayocote family—one of the first crops domesticated in the Americas. Their thick skin and starchy interior create a satisfying bite that pairs well with bold spices, fresh herbs, and seasonal vegetables.

Whether you're crafting a rustic chili, a vibrant bean salad, or a comforting winter stew, Ayocote Blanco beans bring depth, nutrition, and authenticity to your kitchen.
