When we are traveling through Mexico, we love to explore the markets. We often find wonderful foods, spices and cooking utensils that we are unfamiliar with. Recently in Cholula we saw these bright, coloured beans… but we have no idea what they are called or what they are used for. If you know, leave us a comment below so that we can solve this Mexican mystery.

Update: Thank you Guillermo Lomelin for writing and letting us know that these beans are called “guasanas” a typical Mexican snack that is often steamed or roasted. Mystery solved!
