Rancho Gordo - Buckeye Bean

DESCRIPTION A small, dense yet velvety bean that holds its shape and provides a rich bean broth. Easily one of the staff's favorite beans. What a great bean this is! It's quick growing and unique tasting. It goes by a few different names, including Yellow Indian Woman (which is what we used to call it). Buckeye is incredibly creamy, almost more like a classic black turtle bean than anything else. It's dense without being intense, if that makes sense. Buckeye beans can be traced to Montana.

Rancho Gordo was founded in 2001 by Steve Sando in Napa, California, with a mission to preserve and promote heirloom bean varieties that were disappearing from American agriculture.
