Camellia Green Baby Limas, 16 OZ

For nearly a century, the Hayward family has been delivering the highest quality beans, peas, and lentils to nurture families and Southern traditions. It all 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" after his mother's favorite southern flower.

Around 1940, Gordon 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 U.S. Today, Camellia Beans continues to be a family-owned company, providing 19 varieties of premium, non-GMO, and gluten-free dry beans, peas, and lentils grown by American farmers.

We take great pride in our meticulous sourcing process, ensuring only the freshest, highest USDA-graded legumes make it into our products. These "Hayward Standard" beans are the very essence of our brand and the key to the creamy perfection that Camellia is known for.

For generations, our signature red kidney beans have been at the heart of the beloved New Orleans tradition of Red Beans & Rice. But Camellia's offerings extend far beyond this classic dish. Our diverse selection of beans, peas, and lentils provide the essential ingredient for a wide range of quintessential soul food favorites and traditional New Orleans-style meals.

Whether you're reaching for our Green Baby Lima Beans, Large Lima Beans, Blackeye Peas, or any of our hearty dinner mixes like Jambalaya Mix or Louisiana Bean Soup Mix, you can count on Camellia to deliver uncompromising quality. Our beans, peas, and lentils are packed with essential vitamins, minerals, fiber, and plant-based protein, making them a nutritious and versatile addition to any family meal.

At Camellia, we pour our heart and soul into every product, and it's this commitment to excellence that has kept us going strong for 95 years and counting. Join us in gathering round the table with Camellia Beans, and experience the deep, savory flavors that bring people together to make lasting memories.
