About Mayocoba bean

Mayocoba beans are pale yellow to cream-coloured dry beans, also sold under the name Peruano beans. They are cooked after soaking or directly from dry, depending on the preparation, and are used in soups, stews, bean dishes, and purées.

Once cooked, the beans become tender and creamy, with a mild, buttery flavour. They are commonly sold dried and may also be available cooked or canned. Those forms differ in moisture and texture; canned or otherwise prepared beans may also contain added ingredients.
