Description
Rojo chiquito has been grown on small farms across Mexico and Central America for centuries. The plant never took to cooler, wetter northern ground, so breeders at Washington State University and the USDA spent years adapting it and released a certified version in 2001. They changed the plant, not the bean – same flavor, same appearance, on a bush that could finally handle farming up here.
Small, firm, and faintly sweet, they hold their shape and their color through a long simmer. The bean for gallo pinto, for red beans and rice, and for chili. Grown in the Columbia Basin, identity preserved and traceable to the farm.
