Ayocote Morado Beans

These plump, earthy ayocote morado beans are a rich shade of purple. They’ll add visual interest and deep flavor to any bean preparation; we love serving them simply in their broth, topped with cilantro and a fried egg.

The Ayocote plant is closely connected with the cultivation of corn, meaning they are traditionally grown in the same plot alongside each other.

We recommend cooking these beans with a few cloves of garlic, white onion and an avocado leaf or two, though they'll thrive in just about any preparation.
