Located in the heart of central Washington, family-owned Central Bean has been providing some of the best beans available for more than 30 years.

In contrast to other companies that blend beans from a variety of growers, our Identify Preserved (IP) operations keep the beans from each grower, field and even truckload totally separate and identifiable. This IP system provides 100% traceability of our products, maximizes sustainable agriculture practices and insures our beans can be traced literally from field to fork.

In addition, our Food Alliance certification extends from our fields through cleaning and packing. Being certified sustainable reflects our commitment to social and environmental responsibility throughout the supply chain – and we are proud to share these priorities and values with our customers, processors and distributors.

Cranberry Beans

Food Alliance

Central Bean Medium Black-skinned oval beans have an earthy, sweet flavor and a hint of mushrooms. Also known as turtle or black turtle beans, they are very popular throughout Latin America. They are a type of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and are often used in a variety of dishes due to their rich flavor and dense, meaty texture.

When the beans arrive at the elevator for processing and packaging, they are tested to determine moisture content, percentage of damaged beans, foreign material, off type beans, odor, size and overall appearance. After testing, the beans are carefully cleaned. Central Bean uses sophisticated gravity tables and the latest color sorting technology to remove stems, stones, soil and other foreign material.
Finally, the beans are placed in storage to await loading and shipment to locations throughout the world.
