Move over, pinto. There’s another, even creamier bean that’ll make you pine for the perfect tortilla chip to pair with your dip.

Native to Mexico, Peruano beans have a pale yellow color and a pleasant mild flavor. Due to their creamy texture, they can easily be subbed for other beans – pinto, navy or cannellini – in all your favorite recipes. They’re most often found in refried bean dips, pasta dishes, salads and soups.

Peruano beans are packed with plant-powered nutrition – just one ¼-cup serving provides 7 grams of filling fiber and 10 grams of satisfying protein; it’s no surprise that these legumes are beloved by vegetarians, dieters and foodies alike.
