Oil-Polished Processing
Black beans and small red beans are the two classes in our line that go through an oil-polishing step after cleaning — a food-grade oil coating applied to the cleaned bean surface for a more uniform, glossy finish. Pinto and navy beans in our catalog are triple-cleaned only. Seed appearance is a recognized factor in the value a bean crop commands, which is why polishing — commonly done with tumbling drums or similar equipment — is a standard finishing step across the dry bean industry.
