Mayacoba Beans are a hearty addition to casseroles and soups. They can replace pinto beans in any recipe. Mayacoba Beans are great when seasoned with spicy chiles. Mayocoba beans are medium-sized, ivory-colored beans native to South America. Also known as the Peruano, canario, maicoba or Mexican yellow bean, cooked mayocoba beans have a mild flavor and creamy texture that can be used as a substitute for pinto, cannellini or great northern beans in soups, stews, chili, salads or traditional Hispanic dishes. A 1/2-cup serving of the beans is low in fat, cholesterol-free and high in dietary fiber, protein and nutrients like iron. Canned mayocoba beans can contain a high concentration of sodium; cooking your own will allow you to control the sodium content as well as the finished beans' texture.
