Description

Bring authentic Mexican and Latin American culinary soul into your kitchen with Tropical Sun Pinto Beans in Salted Water (Frijoles Pintos). Sourced and prepared by Tropical Sun—specialists in world foods and exotic ingredients—these pinto beans are soaked and cooked to tender perfection, eliminating hours of preparation. When cooked, their speckled skins soften into a warm pinkish-brown hue while their interior breaks down into an exceptionally creamy, mashable consistency. They effortlessly absorb rich spices like cumin, Mexican oregano, garlic, and smoky chili peppers, making them an essential base for traditional home-style cooking.
