It\u2019s no secret plant based eaters love<\/em> beans, and Clean Food Dirty Girl is definitely not an exception. They\u2019re savory, packed with nutrition, and come in tons of shapes, sizes, and flavors. We think all beans are rad, but heirloom beans are undoubtedly the best. If you\u2019re not big on beans, it\u2019s likely because you\u2019ve never had an heirloom variety. We\u2019re gonna spill the beans on heirlooms and share a recipe for Chickpea Masala Tomato Soup Using Rancho Gordo Beans<\/strong>, our favorite bean brand. The soup is unique, flavorful, and easy to make. So let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Heirloom produce, beans included, are non-hybrid varieties that date to before 1951 when hybrid and commercial vegetable crops became popular in the US. Some heirloom varieties have been grown for hundreds of years. They\u2019re usually preserved by small farms, remote communities, and\/or being passed through generations in families. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In traditional farming, seeds from the best-tasting and most productive plants are saved each harvest to plant in the spring. Over time, this selection develops an extremely flavorful crop. On the other hand, modern commercial farming values consistency in size, shape, and color in addition to easy transportability and disease resistance over taste. There\u2019s no comparison when it comes to flavor. The excellent taste, along with a growing interest in the sustainability of our food, is why heirloom varieties are making a comeback.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\nWhat is an heirloom bean?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
