Kidney Bean - 1 Pound x 6 Pack

Camellia Beans: A Legacy of Quality and Tradition

In 1923, our founder, L.H. Hayward, began 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 pioneered the revolutionary idea to package beans in individual cellophane bags, a packaging style that has become an iconic staple in kitchens across New Orleans and the United States.

For nearly a century, Camellia beans, peas, and lentils have been nurturing families and preserving Southern traditions, bringing people together to create memories and enjoy delicious meals. We have always been committed to delivering the highest quality beans with the creamiest texture. This unwavering dedication to quality is at the heart of our business.

We are meticulous in our sourcing process, selecting only the freshest, premium-quality beans. Our legumes are grown by American farmers with whom we have worked for generations, and we label these specially selected beans as "Hayward Standard" to reflect their superior quality, even exceeding the highest USDA grade.

New Orleanians are renowned for their love of beans, and our signature red kidney beans have been an integral part of the city's famous Red Beans and Rice tradition for generations. Over the years, Camellia Brand has expanded to offer 18 different varieties of beans, peas, and lentils, providing families in Louisiana, the Gulf Coast region, and across the United States 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 hearty, traditional meals their families love. Whether you're reaching for our Red Kidney Beans, Large Lima Beans, Blackeye Peas, or any of our delicious dinner mixes like Jambalaya Mix or Louisiana Bean Soup Mix, you can be assured that we have poured our heart and soul into every bag, a recipe that has kept us thriving for 95 years and counting.
