Camellia beans are the best for red beans and rice! They are great quality and way more fresh than other store bought dried kidney beans. I am so grateful there is reasonable shipping offers for out of state/Louisiana deliveries! (I used to haul A LOT of beans in my luggage when we lived overseas— one of my top most missed things from home!)

These beans are a staple for red beans and rice at our house. They are the brand my grandmother used when I was a child (1950’s). So pleased they are available at Sam’s.

Best bargain for the buck

Clean, top quality, fresh as in cooks easily. Varieties I cannot obtain locally.

Excellent and consistent quality and taste. I have enjoyed Camellia Red Beans every Monday for a long time.

Love these beans, cook great

Truly the essential ingredient for a sincere gumbo!

Camillia is the only kidney bean I'll use!

Good red beans

I was disappointed in how these beans lose their color with soaking. And, I did not realize there is a difference between red kidney beans and the small red beans that are usually used to make creole or cajun LA red beans and rice. Camellia sells both kinds, but Sam's only carries these. I cannot complain about the results I had in preparing them, they were delicious, but there is a difference between the two types of beans and when this bag is gone, I will be looking for the small red beans and see how the two compare.
