CAMELLIAS Red Beans, 32 OZ

Fantastic for making classic red beans and rice. They had a great flavor and an ultra creamy texture, that was significantly better than the store brand red beans I used a couple weeks earlier. I hadn't bought Camellia beans before (they don't carry them in stores in our area) but I shelled out a bit extra for them to try as many had mentioned them as their go to bean brand for red beans and rice. I think next time i'll order them directly from Camellia to get a better price on a big order, but i'll definitely get them again.

I ordered these beans for Thanksgiving dinner and I am glad I did. They came out sooo good, that I will be placing another order. I had one hiccup and I was sent 16 oz instead of 32 oz. But as soon as I let them know, they made it right. Definitely recommend getting your red beans from Camellias.

I am Irish Channel-New Orleans born. My recipe for red-beans-n-rice is Mother's recipe. We call it "Hilda's Beans and Rice." No other red bean will do except Camellia beans. I cook up 2 pounds at a time which makes 8 large servings. We eat 2 right away and then freeze the other 6 serving in three 1-quart freezer bags. The 2 pound bag of Camellia beans is sheer perfection. Good price, when your local store is out, and fair priced, prompt shipping.

Dried beans are my preference and Camellia provided me with a good product

I am from Louisiana, New Orleans to be exact. a New Orleanian would never make a pot of red beans with any brand but Camellia. When I first moved to Texas, I wanted to make a pot of red beans. i was stunned when no grocery store carried them. They would point out another brand saying that were just the same. i look at the askance and walked away. After that I started having family and friends ship me 10 pounds of them at a time. The same thing happened in KOURY when my daughter asked me to make red beans for her friends. I told her to buy two pounds of red beans and she returned with some generic "kidney" beans. I told her, "No Camellia, no red beans!" Something told me to check Amazon, and once again, they came through for me. I ordered the 2 pounds of beans, with my Prime account, they arrived in two days, and my daughter had red beans and rice to serve her friends.

Couldn't use them the bags came tore up in the box had to throw them away, was told that there was no reimbursement for them , the two bags were 40.00 , really wow

I made red beans and rice with these beans and they turned out perfect. I was unable to take advantage of the recipe on the back of the beans, because I'm a vegetarian, but I found a great vegetarian recipe from The Complete Vegetarian Cookbook by America's Test Kitchen. These beans made the recipe turn out creamy and delicious. The two pound bag makes two big pots. Yum Yum.

I went to the company site and bought some different types of beans from Camellia. Amazon's prices are a bit high. I spent too much on this particular item, but was glad I tried this brand and will buy again from their site.
