Phaseolus vulgaris

The Hutterite Bean, also known as the Hutterite Soup Bean, was brought to the US in the 1870s by Christian Hutterites fleeing religious persecution in Europe. The Hutterites come from the same roots as the Amish and Mennonite communities, where gardening and food sovereignty have always been an integral part of life.

The Hutterite Bean has more natural oils than most beans, giving it a rich and creamy "melt in your mouth" texture. perfect for -you guessed it- soups! Also makes an amazing bean hummus.
