A One Pound Bag of Rancho Gordo Acoyote Morado Beans on a white background. Red and white label. Additional text on bag reads: The Rancho Gordo-Xoxoc Project. These rare beans are the result of our two companies working together to help small family farmers in Mexico continue to grow their indigenous beans, despite international trade policies that seem to discourage genetic diversity & local food traditions.

A versatile Mexico-grown, mid-sized white bean that is rich and creamy yet holds its shape through long cooking.

A dense, rich bean with a thicker skin. When fully cooked, it has a creamy and starchy consistency with a mild potato-like flavor. 

Originally from Oaxaca, Mexico, the Ayocote family was one of the first cultivated crops of the Americas. They are grown all over central and northern Mexico, but tend to be more popular in indigenous communities.
