Saving Mexico’s Native Beans from Extinction
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 сер 2024
- Beans are one of the most important food staples in Mexico, which is home to one-third of all the world’s bean varieties. Despite the availability of almost 50 kinds of beans, Mexicans are not consuming them nearly as much as they used to. This has threatened the production of Mexico’s native beans, which are now facing extinction.

Beans are so special to us. Not only did we grow up on them but the difficult times we’ve had. When we were broke beans always managed to feed us and end our starvation. 😭 this is honestly sad
Yes , blessing in a way
True,
I fckn feel we, Mexican Frijoleros, should be in a state of emergency, to save our compadritos!
Gorditos, ahora es cuando!
In india, the place I come from our view is that beans are a luxury. But not just one mean, a variety of them. Check out our Onam dishes, plenty of beans dishes. As the festival itself is to be celebrated with vegitarian dishes. We even have sweet dish (Payasam) made of beans.
I wish she would have showed more of the varieties of beans going extinct, what they taste like, how they're traditionally cooked, ect.
The book "The Maya Forest Garden" goes in depth about the Milpa system. Ancient techniques like this are what we need to bring back to food production as a whole to solve our environmental and consumption problems, not double down on the same technologies that created the problems in the first place
EDIT: Also, this is why it's so important that more people garden at home and grow heirloom varieties - to protect cultivars that are threatened with extinction
Thanks for the info. My family and I started our garden last year w little experience and a small space of 16× 4. We harvested tomatoes(several varieties) Jalapeno(also other varieties of peppers) green beans, zucchini, potatoes, squash flowers, along w several herbs. Such an enjoyable experience and such a blessing to our home and even our community. Cheers
Not every one Will have enough land though especially those who live in the city but I guess we can find ways to grow frijoles indoors.
@@Janetp_05 true, but think of how many millions of people live in the suburbs with wasted land
@@Janetp_05 There are sometimes community gardens in urban areas. If enough people can get together and and find a patch of green it can happen; I hope it happens more and more so there's more local fresh food for people; and so people have the access to grow things themselves

Beans are SO important. They nourish us and they also nourish other plants by replenishing nitrogen in the soil. They really are the magical fruit.
I will never stop eating beans, food of my ancestors and a rich source of protein. Thank you earth, for giving us beans.
Life is corn, beans, and chiles (ok, and pork).
According to legends some deity I guess it was Quetzalcoatl or Huitzilopochtli or even both of them, created humans from maize
It's important to respect our ancestors by not abandoning the foods they worked so hard to provide us.
@@pablodelsegundo9502 You gotta have the pork. It's not a native food, but at least it's not European. Pork is from China, and that's perfectly fine.
Thank you for letting the narration and story telling all be in Spanish. It’s strange to feel represented in a genuine way, but also has brought me a joy I haven’t felt since I was kid!
growing climbing beans with corn is genius ..
My ancestors had it going on until 1500 or so.
It's a partial use of the,"Three Sisters," planting method used by many native peoples across the americas. Corn, beans and squash. The Corn grows tall and straight, providing natural support for pole variety beans and then squash is planted in between the corn rows to utilize maximum space in the field.
By the end of the day, we are all human beans
and together we will rice.
This is excellency
Beautiful!
Hello there white bean am a brown bean. 😅
Lmao 😂
Pooh: "Welcome to the ricefields moth..........." :y
Thank you for all the Mexican focused videos lately.. means A lot.
Mexico's contributions to the world of cuisine have been extremely underappreciated.
Que nunca falten los frijoles en el plato no importa el dinero que tengas humildemente bendiciones raza 🙏🏼
Let there always be beans on our plate no matter how much money you have
always stay humble blessings 🙏🏼
They just have to market the beans a vegan trendy super food, inflate the price and every middle class person in USA/Europe will buy it.
Ironically this is probably the most super food of all the super foods.
Well vegans (including me) already eat beans regularly bc it’s an excellent source of plant protein. Y como soy Mexicano me los como cada semana :)
Good point
I don't know about the rest of Americans... but I eat a shit ton, I always have like a month's worth in a good container.
That's a great idea
Save the beans 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Beans, chocolate, avocados, chiles, corn(Maíz), the list goes on for what’s essential and important to a Mexican.
I literally live on beans. I'm a vegan and beans are a high source of protein. Love the video.❤❤❤
I hope all the varieties are protected. Not only Mexico, but the world need to protect for the future all the diversity of foods.
I love this series "regreso al origen" 🤍 the connections between food, culture, history, and environmental justice. when we eat well, we reconnect with nature and respect it. 🦋
People grow on that stuff. Dominican ball players mostly had beans, rice, plantain, pork , and chicken as their staple food. Just ask Alfonso Soriano, former Yankees, Cubs, Nationals.
No steroids or HGH. Rice and beans everyday cooked by momma Soriano.
When you mix rice carbs to beans , they mixture at your stomach releases amino acids.
That is a Latin America staple food.
Auuu felicidades señora Villanueva. Espero encontrarnos un día.💕 Gracias por proteger nuestra cultura.
we need to establish an online market to connect customers with Mexico. similar to indiamart and alibaba, dhgate..
I love that they are preserving the indigenous way. 💖
Cool beans!! Well I'm going to be ordering some beans this week!!
Beans are fucking amazing, I stopped having so much stomach trouble because we eat beans every other day or so. Eat your beans people they are delicious and sooooo good for you
And lots of farts too!!
i pray the beans make it to the US, So we don’t have any going extinct. :(
Do we have the climate for these species?
If I could like 👍🏽 this 100 times I would. I hope they keep stories like coming.
Gonna have to start my beans from the natives in Mexico and have imported into the States so I can support my people and keep this business going for years to comes
I love the flavors in a Mexican dish. I just wish there was a cookbook that had all these heritage type flavors. I've been looking for one for a few years now. If anyone knows of a Mexican cookbook that has beans as the main dish, please share it. Meat incorporated or not, I am interested.
Se me hizo agua la boca cuando vi los frijoles negros gigantes los necesito!
Don’t sell to Goya!!!
Hermoso, cuantas agricultoras, me da esperanza esta belleza !
This is so sad. It’s unbelievable how few people know how nutritious beans are. Super potent in antioxidants and they are delicious. Cheap and easy to grow. The American diet is the reason for people eating less healthy food.
pressure cooking helps breakdown the enzyme that creates gas and bloating
Where can I buy some of these beans!? Drop a link munchies!
Yes! Please!
Exactly!
No kidding! Come on, munchies!
Rancho Gordo is a good online source for some of these.
For $70 a box they can keep them.
Me encanta este canal.
Saludos desde Honduras.
How can we contact the farmers, to purchase these native beans and ship it to South Africa, would be greatly appreciated?
That chefs visor/mask is a total joke at any attempt in stopping droplets lol
I was going to comment on that, but of course covid doesn’t exist when we eat either, let’s pause on our eating and talk and face each other as well
@@xivmercenary lmao it's hilarious, truly. I work in healthcare and no wonder my hospital is completely full with people waiting in the hallways in beds. So much cluelessness
I saw similar ones being used in Japan
@@NosillaWilla I'm sure that has nothing to do with the fact that most people carry shitty lifestyles and possess a non-existent immune system.
@@syrthdr09sybr34 wow I wonder what happened to all of our ecological food systems and free housing and lifestyles to make people so unhealthy maybe its capitalism lol
Check out Rancho Gordo if you're interested in getting some high quality heirloom beans!
Beans are one of the common factors of long lived peoples in the blue zones (Sardinians eat garbanzo beans, Okinawans eat soybeans, Costa Ricans eat black beans, Loma Lindans eat various beans, ect).
Scarletts are big producers of large beans that you can eat early as a sweet spring green bean or let it mature and you get gorgeous purple and black mottled beans that are very good no matter how we make em.
very popular in the UK too.
Me encantó Ana y todas las mujeres del vídeo. Muy bonito y qué importante trabajo.
Ooof mistake of white captions on beige background.
No problem if you are bilingual 💪😎💯
For real.
Y tiene vitamina p2, muy importante que sigamos consumiendo frijolitos
Ok Munchies with this series! Love it! Thanks so much and I can't wait for my episodes! Would love if you explored other foods in Mexico and Latin America! :D
Perhaps we should spread beans on our toast, instead of avocados
All of these could be fashioned into a type of hummus, for sure.
@@pablodelsegundo9502 I think that's called refried beans.
@@ME-hm7zm No, because refried beans are cooked twice. Bean dip is not.
@@pablodelsegundo9502 Refritos doesn't mean fried twice.
Me encanto el video. Hay manera de apoyar a los campesinos de El Jardín? O de comprar desde los Estados Unidos?
50 tipos?! Q rico es Mexico !
💛💛💛 loving this content! Y pues si, sopa de frijoles con costillita de puerco. Mientras que NO sean frijoles Goya - estamos bien.
Fun fact! Irish soups only use 239 beans
If they used one more, it would be two-fahrty...
Take the upvote and leave😂
🤣🤣🤣
Beans are beautiful legumes, I wonder at their color variance.
Mexican food looks so hearty. I wished more Mexican food came to the Philippine during the galleon trade, smh.
¡Gracias por existir Vice!
I grow beans at my house.
I just made some Frijoles Rancheros!
Apenitas ayer cociné una Hoya de Frijoles Rancheros!

4:56 Vi a mi maíz azul 😋
Who ever thought beans looked so beautiful in the garden?
Can’t eat real Mexican food without beans or tortillas
You forgot mexican rice.
Finally something from Mexico that isn’t about the cartels. Thanks!
I've always wondered how do they make sure the seeds produced from a field with so many varieties are true to type, everything would be cross pollinated right?
B E A N S
AMAZING MEXICO ❤️🖤💚🤎 FAMILY🌟 BEANS HOMEMADE FRIJOLES THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟 DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜 AWESOME BEAUTIFUL,

This is beautiful
Very informative.
Y para los que vivimos en otro estado de Mexico, en donde puedo encontrar estos frijoles?
I'm going to sow some maiz and beans right now!🙌
Does each diffrent bean have a disctict flavor or do they all taste pretty much taste the same ?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I can’t vouch for their varieties, but in my limited experience with American heirlooms some varieties do stand out, others are subtle. Some, it’s a texture that is better, some make better broths.
But also it’s in the eye of the beholder- does the one eating take time to notice the difference? If they notice the difference, do they think it’s worth the trouble of getting them, etc?
They all taste different, where i live people prefer the black ones over the pintos, but I like bayos more
Beans w tortillas, and queso cotija😋
Where can i buy these beans? I really want to know
Fantastic video with wonderful insight. Yet wouldn’t it also be important to highlight more dishes with specific types of beans in this video, whilst also including said recipes? A missed opportunity to spread some wealth and possibly boost some demand for these species of beans.
Hopefully a follow up. Gotta remember people’s UA-cam video attention-spans are not always that long.
