Frequently Asked Questions About Dry Beans
Where are your beans grown?
Our core dry bean program — pinto, black, small red, and navy beans, Kabuli chickpeas, and green lentils — is grown in the United States. Varieties sourced on request may be US-grown or imported; origin is confirmed at quote.
Are your beans USDA certified and Non-GMO?
Yes. All of our core-program dry beans are USDA No. 1 Grade and sourced from the current crop year to ensure maximum freshness. Additionally, our beans are 100% Non-GMO, meeting strict global compliance standards for export and food manufacturing.
How can I buy?
You can purchase our products from national foodservice suppliers like Sysco, US Foods, Cheney Brothers, Restaurant Depot, or directly from us.
What's the difference between Desi and Kabuli chickpeas?
Desi chickpeas are smaller, angular, and darker with a rough, thick seed coat — typically dehulled and split into chana dal or milled into besan flour. Kabuli chickpeas are larger, rounder, and cream-colored with a thin, smooth coat — the type used whole in hummus, salads, stews, and commercial canning. F. Garcia’s core chickpea program is Kabuli chickpeas; Desi can be sourced on request.
What's the difference between green lentils and green peas?
Green lentils are a flat, bi-convex disk that holds its shape through long cooking, with an earthy, peppery flavor ideal for salads, pilafs, and side dishes. Green peas are spherical or split, break down faster, and bring a sweeter, starchier profile suited to soups and purees. F. Garcia’s core program is green lentils; green peas can be sourced on request.
What's the difference between Navy Beans and other white beans (Great Northern, Cannellini, Alubias)?
All four fall under the white bean classification — solid white exterior, firm skin, dense center — but differ in size and starch behavior. Navy beans (also called pea beans) are F. Garcia’s core white bean product, prized for baked beans and canning. Great Northern, Cannellini, and Alubias can be sourced on request for buyers standardizing a broader white bean line.
How do pinto beans, small red beans, and kidney beans compare?
Pinto, small red, and both light and dark red kidney beans are all Phaseolus vulgaris — the same species — separated by market use, size, and seed-coat durability. Pinto beans are high-starch with a thin skin, the industry standard for refried beans and burritos. Small red beans are smaller and softer, a Caribbean and Cajun red-beans-and-rice staple. Light red kidney beans are large, firm, and absorb liquid well for stews. Dark red kidney beans carry the thickest seed coat, holding shape best for chili, canning, and salads. Pinto and small red beans are F. Garcia’s core program; both kidney varieties can be sourced on request.
How do Mayocoba (Peruano) beans compare to pinto beans?
Mayocoba beans — also called Peruano or Canary beans — are pale yellow/ivory, Phaseolus vulgaris like pinto beans, but exceptionally creamy and buttery with a thin skin, softer and less gritty than pinto beans when cooked. They’re a premium choice for homestyle refried beans and light-colored stews, popular in Hispanic wholesale and retail markets. Pinto beans are F. Garcia’s core dry bean program; Mayocoba beans can be sourced on request.
What's the difference between yellow peas and pigeon peas?
Yellow peas are the same species as green peas (Pisum sativum): pale, creamy yellow, split into uniform halves, with a mild, sweet, starchy flavor — used in soups and, at industrial scale, for plant-based protein isolates. Pigeon peas (Cajanus cajan) are a different species: angular, deep yellow inside when split, with a nutty, robust flavor — the basis of South Asian toor dal and Caribbean rice and peas. Both can be sourced on request.
