Beans

Our Products

The fruit of the bean is a gently curved pod that naturally opens when ripe, and its seeds can be oblong, oval, or round depending on the variety. This is a new variety obtained in the Bean Program of the National Institute of Forestry, Agriculture, and Livestock Research (INIFAP), released in 2001 by the Saltillo Experimental Field of the same Institute.

PROPERTIES

Among plant-based foods, beans are one of the highest sources of protein. They are also rich in antioxidants and minerals. When consumed in combination with corn, they provide all the amino acids that the body needs. The pinto saltillo bean has a higher protein content (22.1%) and a shorter cooking time (45 minutes in a pressure cooker) compared to other options.
