Caparrón Bean
Couldn't load pickup availability
The caparrón bean, originally from La Rioja, is a small to medium-sized red bean, highly prized for its mild flavor and creamy texture after cooking. Its thin skin and characteristic deep red color make it an ideal legume in terms of both taste and appearance.
It is perfect for traditional stews, especially with chorizo or black pudding, as well as for creams, purees and warm salads, as it absorbs the flavors of herbs and spices such as bay leaf, garlic or paprika very well.
From a nutritional point of view, it is rich in vegetable protein, fiber and minerals such as iron and magnesium, low in fat and very beneficial for digestion and cardiovascular health.
Cooking time: pre-soak for 10–12 hours. Approximate cooking time: 2 to 2.5 hours (or 40–50 minutes in a pressure cooker).
