Description

A mild bean from Mexico that is at home in all kinds of dishes, from refried beans to charro beans to soups and stews.

These unusual beans come from Serdán, a city in the beautiful state of Puebla, right in the shadow of a volcano. The indigenous name of Serdán is Chalchicomula. It was a major center during pre-conquest times, strategically situated near Veracruz. The earth there is particularly rich thanks to the Orizaba volcano, in the Sierra Madre Oriental mountain ranges.

The bean is mild, but the bean broth has become a favorite.
