Tiger Eye Beans (Organic)

Description

These are some sexy heirloom beans! Our Tiger Eye heirloom beans are almost too stunning to cookalmost. But once you taste their silky, cream-like texture and rich flavor that makes ordinary pintos seem one-dimensional, you’ll understand why South American farmers treasured these rare bean varieties for centuries. Ours are grown in harmony with nature with no synthetic chemicals or fertilizers.

When you cook these organic dried beans, those thin skins practically disappear, leaving the creamiest texture you’ve ever experienced. Earthy, nutty, with subtle sweetness that develops as they simmerthink of the best pinto you’ve had, then multiply it by ten. Those earthy flavors make a fantastic bean dip and they pair beautifully with tomatoes, lemon and dill, making them a natural choice for mediterranean dishes.

These high protein beans pack 15 grams of plant-based protein per serving, plus fiber-rich nutrition for steady energy. Whether you’re making the best beans for soups or gourmet bean dishes, these sustainably grown beans transform everyday meals into something special.

Grown in Idaho’s Magic Valley by organic pioneer Mike Heath (featured in Michael Pollan’s Botany of Desire), these premium dry beans thrive in the region’s sandy soil and arid climate. Today, bean production is stewarded by Alvaro, Mike’s trusted partner of 20+ years, who uses complex crop rotations and beneficial insects to nurture healthy, alive soil.

Fresh Beans = Last Year’s Harvest! Don’t worrythis is actually when beans are freshest. After fall harvest, they spend winter being carefully processed and are bagged fresh each spring. So 2024 beans in 2025 means peak freshness! We believe beans are best within 2 years of harvest (others say 3), ensuring you get the finest quality.
