Black beans are the foundation of Guatemalan cuisine. Eaten at nearly every meal – refried for breakfast alongside eggs and tortillas, whole in soups, or blended into a creamy paste called frijol colado. Guatemala consumes more black beans per capita than almost any country in the world. Market prices fluctuate seasonally, with the cheapest prices after the main harvest (November-January) and the highest during the “lean season” (July-September).
