PREMIUM PINTO BEANS Premium Pinto Beans are medium-sized, oval legumes with a distinctive speckled pinkish-tan color that becomes uniform light brown when cooked. While originally from the Americas, pinto beans have gained popularity in Nigeria as an alternative protein source, valued for their excellent nutritional profile, quick cooking time, and versatility in both traditional Nigerian dishes and international cuisine. Our pinto beans are carefully cleaned, graded for size uniformity, and packaged to preserve their distinctive color and nutritional value. Pinto beans are particularly noted for their high antioxidant content, especially kaempferol, a flavonoid with anti-inflammatory properties that may help reduce cancer risk. They have a low glycemic index (GI ~39), making them excellent for blood sugar management, and their high fiber content (15g per cup cooked) supports digestive health and weight management. Pinto beans cook relatively quickly compared to other varieties and develop a creamy texture with a slightly nutty flavor. They are excellent for refried beans, chili, soups, and can be substituted in Nigerian recipes like Moin-Moin or bean stews for a nutritional boost.

Storage Instructions

Store in airtight containers in a cool, dry, dark place

Shelf life: 12-24 months when properly stored

Moisture critical: Must be kept completely dry—pinto beans are susceptible to mold

Temperature: Ideal storage at 15-20°C; avoid areas with temperature fluctuations

Light protection: Prolonged light exposure can fade the distinctive speckled color

Pest management: Regular inspection for weevils is essential; pinto beans are attractive to storage pests

Soaking recommendation: Always soak dry beans before cooking to reduce gas-causing compounds

For long-term storage (2+ years), freeze in vacuum-sealed bags

Once opened, use within 6-12 months for best cooking quality

Discard any beans that show signs of mold, off-odors, or insect damage

Do not store near strong-smelling foods as pinto beans can absorb odors

PREMIUM HONEY BEANS (Oloyin Beans) Our Premium Honey Beans are carefully selected, cleaned, and processed to remove foreign matter while preserving their natural sweetness and quick-cooking properties. Unlike other bean varieties that require extensive seasoning, honey beans possess a naturally sweet flavor profile that reduces the need for added seasonings. When cooked, they develop a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture perfect for Nigeria's signature dish Ewa Oloyin (honey bean porridge), traditionally served with plantain, garri, bread, or swallows like amala. They are equally excellent for Moin-Moin (steamed bean pudding), Akara (bean fritters), and Gbegiri (bean soup). Nutritional Components (Per 100g dry beans) Energy: 318-340 kcal Protein: 22-23.95g Carbohydrates: 42-56.57g Dietary Fiber: 2.34g+ Fat: 1.47-2g Sugars: 3.7g (natural sweetness) Saturated Fat: 0.74g Salt: 0g Calcium: Present Magnesium: Present Phosphorus: Present Zinc: Present Potassium: Present Iron: Present Folate: Present Niacin (B3): Present Vitamin B6: Present Phytochemicals: Flavonoids, phenolic compounds, tocopherol Key Benefits: Naturally sweet flavor reduces need for added sugars, excellent plant-based protein source (22%+), high fiber content aids digestion and weight management, rich in iron and folate for blood health, low glycemic index helps regulate blood sugar, contains antioxidants that support cellular health, naturally cholesterol-free and low in fat. Storage Instructions Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place in airtight containers Shelf life: 12-24 months when properly stored Critical: Keep moisture levels below 15% to prevent mold and aflatoxin growth Store in pest-proof containers—weevils are the primary threat to stored beans Temperature: Room temperature (15-25°C); avoid high humidity areas Inspect regularly for insect infestation; early detection prevents total loss Traditional method: Add dried neem leaves or bay leaves to storage containers as natural insect repellents Once opened, use within 6-12 months for best cooking quality For extended storage, freeze in airtight bags for up to 2 years Do not store near strong-smelling spices as beans can absorb odors If refrigeration is necessary due to climate, ensure beans are in moisture-proof containers to prevent condensation

WHITE BEANS (Nigerian White) Premium Nigerian White Beans offer a milder, more neutral flavor profile compared to their brown counterparts, making them exceptionally versatile for various culinary applications. Our white beans are carefully selected for uniform size, cleaned to remove impurities, and packaged to maintain their pristine appearance and cooking quality. These creamy-white beans are slightly larger than brown beans and cook to a softer, more delicate texture that absorbs flavors beautifully from spices and seasonings. While brown beans are often preferred for their assumed richer nutrients, white beans remain popular for dishes requiring a lighter color and more subtle taste, such as White Moin-Moin , Akara with a golden interior, and refined bean soups. They are also preferred for commercial food production where appearance is important. Scientific analysis shows that white beans share the same fundamental nutritional base as brown beans but with slightly lower levels of certain minerals and antioxidants associated with the colored seed coat. However, they remain an excellent source of protein, fiber, and essential nutrients. Nutritional Components (Per 100g dry beans) Energy: 330-340 kcal Protein: 21-23g Carbohydrates: 56-62g Dietary Fiber: 15-18g Fat: 1.2-1.8g Ash: 2.5-3.5g Calcium: Moderate (lower than brown beans) Iron: Moderate (lower than brown beans) Zinc: Present Potassium: ~1300-1400mg Magnesium: ~170mg Folate: ~280-350µg B Vitamins: Present Key Benefits: Mild flavor accepts seasonings well, softer texture when cooked, excellent protein source for vegetarians and vegans, high fiber content supports digestive health, lower in fat and cholesterol-free, good source of complex carbohydrates for sustained energy, versatile for both sweet and savory applications. Storage Instructions Store in airtight containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight Shelf life: 12-18 months when properly stored Light sensitivity: White beans can yellow when exposed to prolonged light—opaque storage preferred Moisture critical: Keep below 14% moisture to prevent spoilage Pest susceptibility: Equally vulnerable to weevils as brown beans Store at 15-25°C with good ventilation Inspect regularly for insect activity or mold For extended storage, freeze for up to 2 years in moisture-proof packaging Once opened, use within 6-12 months Do not store near strongly colored spices (turmeric, curry) as white beans can absorb stains.
