Buy Feijão and Feijoada Ingredients
Feijão – beans – are part of almost every meal in Brazil. Feijoada is made with black beans (Feijão Preto), while everyday dishes often use the light brown Feijão Carioca. Here you'll find both varieties from Camil and Combrasil, plus black-eyed peas (Feijão Fradinho), which are used mainly in the cuisine of Bahia.
Which beans do you need for feijoada?
Traditionally, black beans are used. They give feijoada its dark colour and hearty flavour. They are usually cooked with garlic, onion and bay leaves. Our feijoada recipe guides you step by step to the original. Short on time? The feijoada from Bordon only needs heating up.
What do you serve with feijoada?
It comes with white rice – for example from Tio João or Camil –, farofa, sautéed collard greens and orange slices. We offer ready-seasoned farofa from Yoki (made from cassava or corn flour), or you can toast your own from raw or toasted cassava flour. For everyday cooking we recommend Arroz com Feijão – rice with beans, the way it's served almost daily in Brazil.
