In Mexico, a rebozo is a shawl, often worn with panache by Mexico’s lovlier residents. Perhaps if you were totally drunk you might think these pretty beans resemble a shawl, but who knows? Who cares? It’s fun to say the word rebozo and it’s more fun to eat these delicious beans. They have a rich bean broth and can be used in place of any traditional Mexican bean in recipes, especially refried beans.
THE RANCHO GORDO-XOXOC PROJECT
These beans are the results of our two companies working together to help small farmers continue to grow their indigenous beans in Mexico, despite international trade policies that seem to discourage genetic diversity and local food traditions.
These rare beans are grown using centuries-old methods and may contain small pebbles or other natural debris. Please clean them thoroughly before cooking!
Product of Mexico. These regional beans were grown by small farmers in the state of Hidalgo under the supervision of the Rancho Gordo-Xoxox Project.
