Camellia Brand Navy Pea Beans, 2 Pound Bag

Product Description: Camellia Beans

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 Hayward Family, who founded the company in 1923, has been sourcing the best dry beans, peas, and lentils available in the U.S.A. and taking pride in delivering the highest quality products with the creamiest texture.

Camellia's history dates back to 1923 when L.H. Hayward began selling red beans at the old French Market in New Orleans. His son, Gordon Hayward, later trademarked the "Camellia Brand" after his mother's favorite southern flower. In the 1940s, Gordon pioneered the revolutionary idea of packaging beans in individual cellophane bags, which remain an iconic staple in kitchens across New Orleans and the U.S.A.

Authenticity is at the heart of Camellia's brand. New Orleanians are true bean lovers, and for generations, Camellia's signature red kidney beans have been the essential ingredient for the city's famous Red Beans & Rice tradition. Today, Camellia Brand offers 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 ingredients for quintessential soul food favorites and traditional New Orleans-style dishes.

Quality is of utmost importance to Camellia. The company is proud to work with American farmers they've collaborated with for generations, securing only the freshest, premium quality beans that outrank the highest USDA grade. These beans are labeled "Hayward Standard" to ensure the highest quality.

Camellia's passion for bean quality spans four generations, and the company takes pride in its products, ensuring that customers can rely on Camellia to cook the hearty, traditional meals their families love. From the creamy texture of Camellia Navy Beans to the versatility of their wide range of legumes, the Camellia brand stands for authenticity, quality, and a commitment to nurturing families and traditions.
