This mix usually includes beans such as black, pinto, red, white, chickpea, Peruvian bean, flor de mayo bean, bayo bean, butter bean, and ayocote bean, among others, which provide a diversity of textures and flavor profiles.

The origin of this mix lies in Latin American culinary traditions, where beans are a staple and essential food in daily diets. These mixes allow for the utilization of the nutritional and taste characteristics of different types of beans in a single preparation, ideal for soups and stews that represent the home cooking of countries like Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, and other countries in the region.

Properties: This mix is an excellent source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, B-complex vitamins, and minerals such as iron, magnesium, and potassium. Furthermore, it has a low content of saturated fats and is ideal for vegetarian and vegan diets. The combination of various types of beans enhances the nutritional profile, aiding digestion and helping to maintain stable energy levels.

Synonyms in Latin American Spanish: Depending on the country, this mix may be known simply as "bean soup mix", "assorted beans", or also as "bean medley". In some places, the beans themselves have different names; for example, black beans may be called “poroto negro” in Argentina or “caraota” in Venezuela, while red beans are also known as “frijol colorado” in several countries.
