The west side Redding Grocery Outlet Bargain Market had lots of dried beans, but I was searching for white beans, either cannellini, navy beans, or great Northern beans. First, just for the sake of comparison, once home from the store I set a bowl of navy beans and Mayocoba beans side by side. Sure enough, the navy beans were bright white, white the Mayocoba beans were an assortment of butter-hues. However, I found it interesting that during the cooking process, the Mayocoba beans didn’t retain their yellow color. Color aside, I treated the Mayocoba beans as if they were navy beans.
