Oaxacan Black beans (Frijol Negro de Oaxaca) are a beloved heirloom variety native to the southern regions of Mexico, particularly the state of Oaxaca, known for their deep black color and rich, earthy flavor. These beans are highly regarded for their creamy texture when cooked and their ability to hold their shape in a variety of dishes.
Often used in traditional Oaxacan cuisine, they are a key ingredient in stews, soups, and as a filling for tamales and tacos. Oaxacan Black beans are not only cherished for their culinary versatility but also for their resilience in the field, as they thrive in the region’s dry, high-altitude conditions.
With a history dating back centuries, these beans are an important part of the local food culture and are also prized by farmers for their drought tolerance and ability to enrich the soil.
