White Tepary Beans

The white tepary bean is slightly sweet and nutty, while the brown variety has an earthier flavor.

Tepary beans have a flavor and texture that is like a cross between kidneys, lentils, and pintos. They are creamier, easier to digest, and higher in protein than all three. 

They are one of the most heat, drought and salt-tolerant legumes in the world, thriving in the alkaline desert soil. They are one of the few bean varieties that do well when the air temperature reaches over 105 degrees F.
