Camellia Brand Dry Large Lima Beans, 2 Pounds

Camellia's Journey: From the French Market to Kitchens Across America

Camellia's story began in 1923 when L.H. Hayward, our founder, started selling red beans at the old French Market in New Orleans. His son, Gordon Hayward, later trademarked the "Camellia Brand" name, inspired by his mother's favorite southern flower. Around 1940, Gordon revolutionized the bean industry by introducing the innovative idea of packaging beans in individual cellophane bags, which have since become an iconic staple in kitchens across New Orleans and the United States.

For nearly a century, Camellia beans, peas, and lentils have been nourishing families and preserving Southern traditions, bringing people together to create cherished memories and enjoy delicious meals. We take great pride in delivering the highest quality legumes with the creamiest texture, meticulously sourcing only the freshest, premium-grade beans from American farmers we've partnered with for generations.

Our commitment to quality is unwavering. We ensure that our "Hayward Standard" beans exceed the highest USDA grade, catering to the discerning palates of New Orleanians and bean lovers across the country. Camellia Brand now offers a diverse range of 18 different varieties of beans, peas, and lentils, providing the essential ingredient for quintessential soul food favorites and traditional New Orleans-style dishes.

Passion is at the heart of everything we do. Our four-generation-strong dedication to bean quality is unparalleled, and our customers rely on Camellia to deliver the hearty, traditional meals their families adore.
