Great for Cooking - These beans are great for soups, stews, casseroles, dips, to make refried beans, and they soak up the flavors that you cook them with thus making them very versatile. Mayocoba Beans are easy to cook, cover with lots of water, bring to a boil for 10 minutes, shut off heat, cover, and let sit for 2 hours, then reheat and boil for another 2 hours, and they are ready.
Beans and Gas - The more beans you eat the more enzymes you produce so you don’t have gas. Also, discard the water they are boiled in and add a little baking soda to the water and that will help. And there are over the counter enzymes that a person can take to prevent gas when eating beans.
Finding Mayocoba Beans— Inexpensive - I have found a pound bag of Mayocoba Beans also called Canary Beans for around $5.25 on eBay.com and also on ranchogordo.com so they are inexpensive and good food.
Enjoy Mayocoba Beans!
Beans are Extremely Healthy Food… but less than 4% of the people in the US eat beans… no wonder we are sick. Eating 1 cup of beans daily… adds 4 to 10 years to your life.
Many Blessings to Everyone
