O'odham farmed, an ancient bean of the Sonoran Desert. Black tepary beans are highly acclaimed for their dense nutritional value. The black tepary bean is unique from any other bean with its subtle naturally savory flavor. Emerging from the ancient tradition of separating the black seeds before planting the white or brown teparies, the black seeds were selected, planted, grown, and harvested over years.

Tasty and Tough

See prior review- soaked overnight, the cooked for a couple hours til slightly tender. Made a mad/delicious soffrito, but the beans now in their 6th hour are still plenty toothsome. Flavor is great and we are eating anyhow with homegrown salad and cornbread, but dang that’s a lotta cooking!

Tasty but hard to cook

Used these as a replacement for black beans in a chili. It was delicious but even after soaking/cooking the repeat beans for 24 hours they were still a little tough.
