Peruano beans are a bean variety belonging to the common bean or Phaseolus vulgaris species. This species includes a wide range of beans that mainly differ based on their type, color, and shape. Thus, peruano beans are categorized under the yellow beans type.
Peruano beans are also called canary beans and are referred to as Peruvian beans in Spanish. They are originally from Mexico. They are also quite popular as a dish there, and the beans are either eaten alone or as part of salsa or tortilla dishes.

When stored in a cool and dry place, they can last for a very long period of time until their use. Furthermore, these beans are known for their soft and creamy texture when cooked.

You can also keep a check on the beans and cook it till the texture you desire is attained. Once done, drain the beans.
✦ Crock-Pot Style: Take the desired quantity of beans and place them in a Crock-Pot. Now, add water. For 2 cups of beans, around 10 cups of water is required. Next, add thinly sliced onions (few slices or as desired) and chopped garlic (about 1 tsp.). Then add salt to taste and give it a stir. Cook for about eight hours on a low flame. Once done, put off the heat, and your beans are ready to serve.
✦ Peruano beans are also a great choice as refried beans. For a healthier version, make sure to choose healthy oils like corn oil or olive oil. Heat some oil and add onions to it. Cook them until they caramelize. Once done, add the beans and let them come up to a boil. Next smash the beans to the desired consistency and serve.
