About Purple Ayocote / Acerca del Frijol Ayocote Morado
Our Purple Ayocote Beans (Frijol Ayocote Morado) are a striking heirloom Mexican variety with deep purple-violet skin, large size, and a hearty, slightly sweet flavor. Their dramatic color comes from natural anthocyanins (the same antioxidants in blueberries) and they hold their hue beautifully when cooked — perfect for showcasing on holiday tables and special occasions.
El frijol ayocote morado es una variedad heirloom espectacular — color púrpura intenso casi violeta, grano grande y sabor robusto con un toque dulce. Su color natural proviene de antocianinas (mismos antioxidantes que en moras y arándanos) y se conserva al cocinar. Frijol favorito para mesas festivas, día de muertos y platillos especiales.

Quick Tip / Tip rápido
Don't add acid (lime or vinegar) too early when cooking purple ayocotes — wait until the end so they keep their dramatic violet color instead of turning gray-blue.
No agregues ácido (limón o vinagre) demasiado pronto al cocinar el ayocote morado — agrégalo al final para mantener su color púrpura vibrante en lugar de azul-grisáceo.
Recipe Inspiration / Receta Sugerida — Día de Muertos Ayocote Morado con Hoja de Aguacate
Ingredients (serves 6): 1 lb purple ayocote beans (soaked 12+ hours) • ½ white onion + 4 garlic cloves • 4 dried avocado leaves (hoja de aguacate) • 2 tbsp lard or olive oil • 1 chile guajillo (deveined) • 1 tsp Mexican oregano • Salt to taste • Cilantro & pumpkin seeds for garnish
Steps: 1) Drain soaked ayocotes, place in a large pot with 8 cups water, ½ onion, garlic and dried avocado leaves. 2) Bring to a boil, reduce heat, simmer 2–3 hours until tender (avocado leaves give an aniseed-like aroma that complements ayocotes beautifully). 3) Heat lard, briefly fry the chile guajillo, add to bean pot. 4) Add oregano, simmer 30 min more. 5) Adjust salt at the end (acid added too early will dull the purple). 6) Serve hot in clay bowls, garnish with chopped cilantro and toasted pumpkin seeds. The beans keep their stunning violet color and become a centerpiece for Día de Muertos altars or autumn feasts.
Ayocote morado para Día de Muertos: cuece 1 lb de ayocote morado remojado con cebolla, ajo y hoja de aguacate seca por 2–3 horas (la hoja de aguacate da un aroma anisado que acompaña perfecto). Agrega chile guajillo dorado y orégano. Sazona con sal al final para conservar el color púrpura. Sirve en cazuela con cilantro y pepitas tostadas — protagonista de la mesa festiva.

How can I pay if I pick up in person?
At our warehouse we accept cash and Zelle. Card and digital wallet payments are available for online orders — if you'd prefer to pay by card, place your order online, select store pickup, and come get it.
En el almacén aceptamos efectivo y Zelle. Con tarjeta: haz tu pedido en línea, selecciona retiro en tienda y pásalo a recoger.
What is your return policy?
Because we sell fresh and perishable food in bulk, we accept returns in two situations:
- Quality defect attributable to us — product received spoiled or in unsuitable condition, an incorrect item shipped, or a product that doesn't match its description. We cover return shipping.
- Unopened product — if you change your mind, you may return any item still unopened, unused, and sealed in its original packaging exactly as we shipped it. Return shipping is at your cost.
Requests must be made within 3 days of receiving your order, with photos. If approved, you choose — a replacement or a full refund.
Aceptamos devoluciones por defecto de calidad atribuible a nosotros (cubrimos el flete) o por producto sin abrir y sellado (el flete corre por tu cuenta). Solicitud dentro de 3 días con fotos.

My order arrived damaged. What do I do?
Contact us within 24 hours with photos of the outer packaging and the product inside. All orders leave inspected and properly packed, so transit damage is the carrier's responsibility — but we'll help you file the claim, since the shipment is insured under our carrier account.
Contáctanos dentro de 24 horas con fotos del empaque y del producto. Te ayudamos a levantar el reclamo con el transportista.
Do you sell wholesale / in bulk?
That's most of what we do. We supply restaurants, bakeries, Mexican grocery stores, spice blenders, and foodservice distributors across the U.S. Most products are priced per pound, and the price drops as volume goes up.
El mayoreo es la mayor parte de lo que hacemos. Precios por libra que bajan al aumentar el volumen.
Browse our wholesale catalog → / Ver catálogo de mayoreo →
Do you offer payment terms?
Payment is due at the time of order. We don't currently offer net terms or credit accounts — this keeps our per-pound pricing as low as it is.
El pago es al momento del pedido. No manejamos crédito ni términos net.
How should I store my spices and dried fruit?
Keep everything in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once you open a bulk bag, transfer what you're not using into an airtight container. Whole spices hold their aroma far longer than ground. Dried fruit stays plump sealed; refrigeration extends shelf life in humid climates.
Guarda todo en un lugar fresco, seco y sin luz. Al abrir una bolsa, pasa lo demás a un recipiente hermético.
Are your products authentic Mexican?
We import directly and ship from the border at McAllen, Texas. Our Ceylon cinnamon is true cinnamon from Sri Lanka — not the harsher Cassia most U.S. supermarkets carry.
Importamos directo y enviamos desde McAllen, Texas. Nuestra canela es de Ceylán verdadera, no Cassia.
