Rancho Gordo Ayocote Negro Bean
Ayocote Negro are firm without being starchy and have a darker, inky bean broth than other runner beans enjoy. They are large, bold and one of the first beans we recommend if you're trying to sell a "steak and potatoes"-type on heirloom beans.
Produced in Mexico, this thick-skinned bean is big and beautiful. Not your average black bean. It's a firm bean but goes from dense to creamy with continued cooking. Originally from Oaxaca, Mexico, the Ayocote family was one of the first cultivated crops of the Americas.
