Camellia Beans

Every Louisianan knows that beans are essential to the culinary distinction of Bayou delicacies. No one knows that better than the Camellia® brand. The Hayward family’s passion for beans spans four generations, since 1923. Although there are federal standards, Camellia® beans are subject to “the Hayward standard” – above and beyond USDA grade. Best of all, their beans are non-GMO and gluten-free. CajunGrocer.com offers a wide selection of their most popular bean varieties, ranging from large lima to red kidney and lentils to black-eyed peas.

Red beans and rice is a bonafide way to beat the Monday Blues in New Orleans. This Southern dish became a staple when women would cook pots of beans while they tended to the laundry and other household chores. This delicious dish is easier than ever to make at home with Camellia® beans. Kidney beans taste just as great in sweet delicacies, such as habichuelas con dulce, brownies, and so much more. We also offer large and baby lima beans, which are packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals. In fact, lima beans are one of the most nutritious foods in the world. They are traditionally used to make succotash, curries, and sausage stews.

Some of the most versatile Camellia® products we offer include Great Northern beans, pinto beans, green split and black-eyed peas. Black-eyed peas are a key ingredient in soul food, and they are often eaten with cabbage, turnips, or collard greens and pork on New Year’s Day. Preparing a big meal for the family?
