Rio Zape Bean (Bush)
Rio Zape Bean is a treasured Native American heirloom with distinctive deep maroon seeds and a rich, complex flavor with notes of coffee and chocolate that make it one of the most sophisticated and sought-after dried beans available. Outstanding slow-cooked with aromatics in the traditional way, its earthy, deeply savory character is genuinely unlike any commercial bean and rewards the gardener who discovers it with a pantry staple that elevates every simple bean dish into something memorable. A rare and genuinely exceptional heirloom.
