Bigrig1919 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Does anyone know where I can buy some dry red beans here in Mexico. I've looked everywhere and no one at any of the stores I've been to, know where I can find them. I'm cravings some good red beans and rice.

HarryB Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Good luck. You can for try asking for frijoles higagdo or kidney beans but have never found them dry here. Make do with canned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Miller Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 I bought dry, red kidney beans, a few weeks back, at the bulk store right beside Gossips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 We have 2 or 3 types de red dry beans here in Chiapas. If you are not in a hurry I can bring you some. I am down here with a Mexican friend from Guadalajara and she has never seen this different types up north but then I do not know if this is what you are looking for. I bought some today and they are soaking right now, will cook them tomorrow and are looking to try something new. PM if you want me to bring you some. We have many different types of beans down here.

Bigrig1919 Posted January 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 I've been to the bulk store next to Gossips twice in the last two weeks and no red Bean. The lady keeps telling me she will have some next week. I don't like to use beans in a can because of the large amount of sodium in each can.

Kevin K Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 I'd suggest going to either the semillas store in Ajijic (between Colon and Juarez on the carretera) or the even better one in Chapala (about two blocks north of the zocalo on Madero) and buying the smallest fresh local beans you can find, regardless of color. Cook them as you would the red beans you're not finding and you're sure to be happy with the results. Here's a guide to some of the quite amazing variety of beans we have down here; http://www.themijachronicles.com/2010/06/a-quick-guide-to-mexican-beans/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomgates Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 I used some small red beans I bought at that store in my chili last year, cooked them for HOURS and they were still hard as rocks. Maybe they were rocks! And, yes, I pre-soaked them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
