Camellia Garbanzo, 16 OZ

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 story began in 1923, when our founder, L.H. Hayward, 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 Hayward pioneered the revolutionary idea to package beans in individual cellophane bags, which have since become an iconic staple in kitchens across New Orleans and the United States. This innovative packaging has helped Camellia Beans remain a beloved and trusted brand for generations.

At Camellia, we are meticulous about everything we do. We source only the freshest, premium-quality beans, peas, and lentils, ensuring that you can cook your favorite dishes to creamy perfection. Our legumes are grown by American farmers we've worked with for generations, and we're proud that they meet the highest USDA grade standards. In fact, these exceptional beans are labeled "Hayward Standard" to reflect our unwavering commitment to quality.

New Orleanians are true bean lovers, and our signature red kidney beans have been at the very heart of the city's famous Red Beans & Rice tradition for generations. 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. with the essential ingredients 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 deliver the highest-quality beans with the creamiest texture, ensuring that they can cook the hearty, traditional meals their families love.

Whether you're reaching for our Red Kidney Beans, Large Lima Beans, Blackeye Peas, or any of our other offerings, you can be confident that Camellia Beans are a trusted and reliable choice. Our gluten-free and non-GMO dry beans, peas, and lentils are a great source of protein, fiber, and essential vitamins, making them a nutritious and versatile addition to your culinary repertoire.

Camellia Garbanzo Beans, also known as chickpeas, pack a punch with at least 10g of protein and 5g of fiber in every serving, making them a great source of protein for vegans and vegetarians. These versatile legumes are easy to prepare and can be enjoyed in a variety of dishes, from hummus and soups to salads and side dishes.
