Carioca beans
Appearance: “Small to medium-sized, oval-shaped, light beige/tan with delicate, thin brown or reddish-brown stripes/streaks. They lose their markings and become a uniform light brown or pink when cooked.”
Texture & Flavor: “Neutral, subtle flavor. They are known for becoming very creamy and tender when cooked, producing a thick, flavorful cooking broth.”
Characteristic Description
Culinary Uses: “The most consumed bean variety in Brazil, often served daily as a side dish (Arroz com Feijão—rice and beans). They are great for soups and purees where a creamy consistency is desired.”
Name Confusion: “In Brazil, they are distinct from Black Beans. They are very similar in appearance and use to the American Pinto Bean.”
