Camellia Small Reds (Frijoles Rojos Pequeños) are smaller and darker in color than Camellia Red Kidney Beans, and their shape is closer to that of Camellia Black Beans.
These colorful, diminutive red beans possess a rich, nutty flavor that holds up beautifully when seasoned with lots of peppery heat.
Like all of our beans, Camellia Small Reds are non-GMO, gluten-free, and meet the “Hayward Standard”– the name our growers gave our bean quality standard – which exceeds the top USDA requirements. Try some today – we think you’ll taste the difference.

What Are Small Red Beans?
Small Reds keep their shape when cooked for a long time, which makes them ideal for soups and congees, as cooked-and-chilled additions to salads, and when served mixed with rice in spicy Caribbean dishes. They’re also known as “Mexican red beans,” “Honduran red beans,” “Salvadorean red beans” or “Central American red beans,” and they make a great substitute for pintos or red kidneys in chili, with rice dishes, or mashed and refried in baleadas, a popular Honduran street food.
