\"Xculibul<\/a>Do you remember the time when just having black beans to choose seemed new and exciting? I remember thinking they were so exotic compared to pintos and Great Northerns. Now, we have dozens of black bean varieties and each one is a little different. The Xculibul beans come from the state of Yucatan in Mexico, right near the border of Quintana Roo. I had them in a classic dish called Frijol con Puerco<\/em> but they’d be great on their own. They have a rich, dense texture (that I find requires a little more time to cook) and a super chocolate-like broth.<\/p>\n

Of course you don’t need to cook Yucatan cuisine to enjoy them but if you do, it would be a shame to use ordinary black beans instead of these authentic legumes from the Rancho Gordo-Xoxoc Project.
