\"Flor<\/a>SUPER LIMITED AND SUPER WONDERFUL! Flor de Junio (or June Flower<\/i>) are one of the most sought after beans in Michoacan, a state that knows its beans. Both Flor de Mayo (with its decorative spots) and Flor de Junio (with its decorative pink swirls) are preferred over pintos and blacks. I think the food in the region is second to none, especially if you can find some traditional Purepecha indigenous dishes. <\/span><\/p>\n

The bean itself stays whole but you bite into and it seems to melt in your both with creamy bean goodness. And yet it’s as light as the wings of a migrating Monarch butterfly! (They go down to Michoacan, you know.)<\/span><\/p>\n

The problem with these beans is that they don’t age well. In fact, they become rather pedestrian (and dark) after about a year under optimal circumstances and even less if stored haphazardly. This crop came out of the ground July 2013 and if you store it in a dark cool pantry will be fine for awhile but we have a limited amount so we not think of the Flor de Junio like Nouveau Beaujolais<\/i>, ramps, figs or some other seasonal treat. Enjoy them now while you can!<\/span><\/p>\n

These come from a farmer in Guanajuato and once they’re gone, that’s it. This variety is called “Silvia”. <\/span><\/p>\n
