I've been a serious gym-goer since November. I still find the aesthetic off but I have this on my earbuds as I enter the workout room. I wish there were someway I could make the others know this is what I hear as I enter and see them working out.

We discovered in our test kitchen that our Pardina lentils are a great match for @minnowworld's smoked trout. Horseradish and dill are optional, but they add a nice kick.

This not good news! Take back the beans! If you are in our tribe (The People of The Bean, Bean Freaks, Leguminati, etc), would you consider adding the 🫘 emoji to your profile? We need to take back the Beans!

You know - I think it’s a good day to make a pot of beans. I think I still have a few bags of Rancho Gordo hidden in the back of my cabinet. Maybe turn it into this delightful looking thing. That could be good.

It's warming up and it's not too early to start thinking about substantial bean salads. Royal Corona are back and this versatile bean is right at home in a salad for dinner.

Congratulations on 25 years of Rancho Gordo. What started as Steve Sando’s personal garden turned into a business providing rare and traditional beans to kitchens across the country. His partnership with small farmers and support for local nonprofits remarkable. To another 25 years!

Can you help out? I don’t have a favorite. I love all my children equally. (that’s not true, but I have to say that so the others don’t feel jealous)

The Rancho Gordo staff has been on a rice cooker lunch kick, and this was a standout. Rancho Gordo brown rice, bean broth, and sliced wild mushrooms went into the rice cooker. Once done, we topped it with Buckeye beans and a drizzle of chile oil.

Our Mixteca salt actually helps soften beans (and other vegetables) and keeps your vegetables colors vibrant. These leeks were reduced with butter, olive oil, and a spoonful of Mixteca salt and a plop goes great in a bowl of beans.
