When I stumbled upon the beauty of Fremont beans, I had to try them. Gorgeous to behold and easy to prepare! After an overnight soak and good rinse (they double in volume), I boiled them in water to cover by 2” for ten minutes, then lowered heat on the stovetop to a bare simmer. They were ready in just under two hours that way (I prefer a leisurely cooking approach). A bit on the starchy side in texture, and they make a lovely light broth. They’re really big and plump! Would make quite the showstopper in any dish that features them. They’re as big as grapes-the big ones you pluck from a bunch first!-and (mostly) hold their shape very well. I imagine they could be put on an appetizer board with toothpicks on the side; maybe make mini-kebabs with these. These could also be a fun introductory bean to a child, again because of the size and shape once cooked. Just hand one over at a time-cooled off a bit, of course. If an adventurous eater, they’ll take to it like a grape. I look forward to incorporating more of 21st Century beans’ other varieties into the goal of eating a bit o’beans daily for a healthy diet:)

I learned about your products from a friend in Winfield KS (my hometown) and ordered an assortment for here in Colorado. Excellent quality and great flavor. I highly recommend them.

I discovered 21st Century Beans when I was given a pkg of Pappy's Pantry split yellow peas. We really liked them. The products that we have purchased since - more split yellow peas, Maricoba beans and navy beans - have all been great ; really impressed with the quality. The website is so helpful, the items were shipped and received in a timely manner. We plan to continue purchasing product from 21st Century Bean for a long time and recommend them to family and friends.

My first order came as a blessing from my sister. We were impressed with the quality and cleanliness of the beans. We decided to order some more on our own since we enjoyed the first order. I wasn’t too happy with the second order, one of my bags was ripped open, poor postal service caused this. I called and let them know and they immediately replaced the loss. However, each of my black eyed bean order had excessive bean fragments in each bag. It was like I got the bottom of the barrel. I did not have this with my first order. Hopefully my next order will be like the first order. Overall we like the quality!

I received my order quickly considering it was the beginning of the pandemic. The black beans have a wonderful flavor and consistency, the lentils are also great. I intend to order again. Thank you for a fantastic product!

Placed my first order a few weeks ago and it was fulfilled quickly . The quality of the beans is outstanding, and customer service is first-rate. I have been singing the praises of this company ever since, in several online "homesteading" groups. Will be ordering again and again.
