Aren't these gorgeous? I just received them this morning from my friends in Hidalgo.

Frijol Moro

Ayocote Morado

Cotón de Indio

San Franciscano

Yunuen and Gabriel are mostly known for their delicious xoconostle products under the Xoxoc label but they're also keeping an eye out for local beans and corn and promoting good agriculture in the state of Hidalgo. They live in a dreamy hacienda and I'll write more about them sooner than later. I was introduced to them by Ruth Alegria, who knows just about everyone worth knowing on either side of the border.

Getting this package of beans was like Christmas morning for me and I can't wait to go home and cook them up.
