Camellia Brand Dry Red Kidney Beans, 4 Pounds

For nearly a century, Camellia beans, peas, and lentils have been nurturing families and Southern traditions, bringing people together to make memories and enjoy delicious meals. The Camellia Brand was born when the founder, L.H. Hayward, began selling red beans in 1923 at the old French Market in New Orleans. His son, Gordon Hayward, later trademarked the brand name, inspired by his mother's favorite southern flower.

In the 1940s, Gordon Hayward pioneered the revolutionary idea of packaging beans in individual cellophane bags, which have since become an iconic staple in kitchens across New Orleans and the United States. This innovative approach has allowed Camellia to deliver the highest quality beans with the creamiest texture to households for generations.

At Camellia, we are meticulous about every aspect of our operations. We source only the freshest, premium quality beans, ensuring that our customers can cook their favorite dishes to perfection. Whether it's our Red Kidney Beans, Large Lima Beans, Blackeye Peas, or any of our hearty dinner mixes like Jambalaya Mix or Louisiana Bean Soup Mix, we put our heart and soul into every product, a recipe that has kept us going strong for 95 years.

The Hayward family has been sourcing the best dry beans, peas, and lentils available in the U.S.A. since 1923. We are proud that our legumes are grown by American farmers with whom we have worked for generations. In fact, we are so particular about quality that we only secure the freshest, premium quality beans that outrank the highest USDA grade, which we proudly label as "Hayward Standard" beans.

New Orleanians are true bean lovers, and for generations, our signature red kidney beans have been at the very heart of the city's famous Red Beans & Rice tradition. Camellia Brand now packages 18 different varieties of beans, peas, and lentils, providing families in Louisiana, the Gulf Coast region, and across the U.S.A. with the essential ingredient for quintessential soul food favorites and traditional New Orleans-style dishes.

Our passion for bean quality spans four generations, and we take great pride in our products. Our customers rely on Camellia to cook the hearty, traditional meals their families love, and we are committed to delivering the highest quality and creamiest texture in every bag.
