Speckled Bayo Beans - Limited Edition

This kidney-shaped bean is a rare regional gem. An old favorite in pockets of Coastal California and Louisiana, the Speckled Bayo has been grown by the Capaul family in Northern California since the 1800s, preserving this beloved bean for the next generation of farmers and bean lovers. Customers tell us their grandparents grew it and they thought they'd never see it again. We love its naturally varying burgundy-and-cream skin tones and substantial size. It tastes similar to a kidney bean but with more of the earthiness of a pinto. Creamy yet holds its shape, with a flavor some describe as ham-like.  See below for cooking times and our serving suggestions. 1lb in a 100% curbside recyclable standup pouch
