Red Cargamanto Beans – Frijol Cargamanto Rojo (Colombian Beans)
Red Cargamanto Beans are a traditional Colombian bean variety, known for their large size, red-speckled colour, and creamy texture when cooked. They are a staple ingredient in Colombian cuisine, especially in hearty, slow-cooked dishes from the Andean region.
These beans are widely used in classic recipes like bandeja paisa, where they are cooked with onion, garlic, and spices to create a thick, flavourful stew. Once cooked, they develop a soft interior while maintaining their shape, making them ideal for soups, stews, and traditional bean dishes.
