Rancho Gordo Ayocote Blanco Beans

AYOCOTE BLANCO BEANS ARE A VERSATILE MID-SIZED WHITE BEAN ORIGINATING FROM MEXICO THAT OFFERS A CREAMY TEXTURE WHILE MAINTAINING ITS SHAPE DURING EXTENDED COOKING.

Ayocote Blanco is a dense, flavorful bean with a thick skin. When completely cooked, its creamy and starchy texture attains a delicate potato-like taste.

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 are more prevalent in indigenous communities.

The rich and starchy profile calls for bacon and pancetta. You can make an elaborate dish like cassoulet or you can enjoy them in a simple soup or salad. We love its versatility—it can be used across all types of dishes and cuisines.
