Heirloom Yellow Eye Beans, Organic

Creamy SHILOH FARMS Heirloom Yellow Eye Beans are culinary chameleons! Very mild themselves (with a flavor described as similar to a potato), they absorb complex flavors well, making them an excellent addition to hearty soups, rich cassoulets, and smoky baked beans.

When cooked, this beautiful and versatile bean plumps and has a smooth, almost creamy texture. High in protein, complex carbohydrates, and dietary fiber, yellow eye beans are also an excellent source of vitamins and minerals, particularly Vitamin A and iron.

Also occasionally known as Butter Calypso Beans, this heirloom variety dates from at least the 17th Century.

For even more wholesome, healthy goodness, try our entire line of Heirloom Beans: Christmas Lima Beans, European Soldier Beans, Jacob's Cattle Beans, and Orca Beans; and Heirloom Grains: Canahua, Einkorn, Emmer Farro, Greenwheat Freekeh, and Multi-Color Popcorn! 

To Cook: Sort and rinse. Cover with water and soak overnight. Drain, then bring 3 cups fresh water and 1 cup beans to boil. Reduce and simmer 1-1½ hours, or until tender. Drain and serve.

*Cold soaked and cooked at a very gentle simmer, beans should retain most of their nutrients.

Suggestions:
1. Swap for pinto or navy beans in soups, stews, and salads.
2. Try in traditional New England-style baked beans or casseroles.
3. Pair with smoked ham hock and seasonal vegetables for a simple and stunning entree.
