Products - Beans, Nuts & Mixes

-If my hands burn from handling chiles, what can I do?

-The best is to rub them with lime juice or a similar acid such as vinegar. Next time, use rubber gloves, butter your hands or spray them with liquid shortening and use greater care when touching the chiles, not touching the placenta, seeds or veins.

-Are ornamental varieties of chiles poisonous?

-There are absolutely no varieties of peppers that are poisonous; all capsicum species are edible. Some of the ornamental varieties just don't taste very good, while others are extremely hot or pungent, which may lead to this misconception; however, there is an ornamental plant called a False Jerusalem Cherry, botanical name, Solanum Capsicastrum, which is poisonous and not intended for consumption. It is not a chile plant, only a relative.

Beans, Mixes & Nuts

Beans

Pinto Beans
The freckled bean of the Southwest. You have probably never had them this fresh! They are the most popular bean for Southwestern cooking and are the bean that is most often mashed and fried--called refried beans or refritos.
Price: 1 lb. = $3.50

Black Beans
Caribbean and South American dishes feature black beans. There is no substitute for these beans in Black Bean Soup or Feijoada, the Brazilian bean and sausage stew. They are firm and flavorful and are also great refried.
Price: 1 lb. = $3.50

Bolita Beans
When grown in New Mexico's volcanic valley soil, these beans take on a very special personality--sweet, yet textured, they are wonderful in stews, as a substitute for pintos or in salads and salsas.
Price: 1 lb. = $4.00

Anasazi Beans
The beans of the ancients. The famed lost civilization of Chaco Canyon left us their flavorful beans. Delicious in most any hot or cold bean dish, or in salsas. 1 lb.
