Saving Mexico’s Native Beans from Extinction

Beans are one of the most important food staples in Mexico, which is home to one-third of all the world’s bean varieties. Despite the availability of almost 50 kinds of beans, Mexicans are not consuming them nearly as much as they used to. This has threatened the production of Mexico’s native beans, which are now facing extinction.

Beans are so special to us. Not only did we grow up on them but the difficult times we’ve had. When we were broke beans always managed to feed us and end our starvation. 😭 this is honestly sad

In india, the place I come from our view is that beans are a luxury. But not just one mean, a variety of them. Check out our Onam dishes, plenty of beans dishes. As the festival itself is to be celebrated with vegitarian dishes. We even have sweet dish (Payasam) made of beans.

The book "The Maya Forest Garden" goes in depth about the Milpa system. Ancient techniques like this are what we need to bring back to food production as a whole to solve our environmental and consumption problems, not double down on the same technologies that created the problems in the first place EDIT: Also, this is why it's so important that more people garden at home and grow heirloom varieties - to protect cultivars that are threatened with extinction

Thanks for the info. My family and I started our garden last year w little experience and a small space of 16× 4. We harvested tomatoes(several varieties) Jalapeno(also other varieties of peppers) green beans, zucchini, potatoes, squash flowers, along w several herbs. Such an enjoyable experience and such a blessing to our home and even our community. Cheers

It's a partial use of the,"Three Sisters," planting method used by many native peoples across the americas. Corn, beans and squash. The Corn grows tall and straight, providing natural support for pole variety beans and then squash is planted in between the corn rows to utilize maximum space in the field.

People grow on that stuff. Dominican ball players mostly had beans, rice, plantain, pork , and chicken as their staple food. Just ask Alfonso Soriano, former Yankees, Cubs, Nationals. No steroids or HGH. Rice and beans everyday cooked by momma Soriano. When you mix rice carbs to beans , they mixture at your stomach releases amino acids. That is a Latin America staple food.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I can’t vouch for their varieties, but in my limited experience with American heirlooms some varieties do stand out, others are subtle. Some, it’s a texture that is better, some make better broths. But also it’s in the eye of the beholder- does the one eating take time to notice the difference? If they notice the difference, do they think it’s worth the trouble of getting them, etc?
