Rancho Gordo Buckeye Beans

SMALL, DENSE YET VELVETY BEAN THAT HOLDS ITS SHAPE AND PROVIDES A RICH BEAN BROTH. EASILY ONE OF THE RG STAFF'S FAVORITE BEANS.

It goes by a few different names, including Yellow Indian Woman (which is what we used to call it).
Buckeye is incredibly creamy, almost more like a classic black turtle bean than anything else. It's dense without being intense, if that makes sense.
Buckeye beans can be traced to Montana. Because of the short Montana growing season, these beans have been bred to grow fast and plentiful. You can almost watch the vines grow while standing in the bean fields on a summer day. Well, maybe not quite, but they are prolific!

From the RG Kitchen: op a simple bowl of Buckeyes with goat cheese and pickled shallots, or cooked nopales and fiery salsa. You can also puree them, maybe add a little anchovy or a small bit of butter, and the result is similar to eating a good triple-cream cheese.
