Bolita Beans

The Bolita Bean is a type of creamy-tan bean, smaller than the Pinto bean. It is high in protein and has a sweeter, creamier texture, making it easier on the digestive system.

Origin and Availability

The Bolita bean was one of the original varieties brought by the Spanish as they settled New Mexico. It is still grown by a few Spanish farms to this day, due to its dry bean, rich flavor, and creamy texture. Our Bolita Beans come from a small family farm in southwestern Colorado.
