The longevity foods of Nicoya 🇨🇷
On Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula, people live longer than almost anyone in the Americas, powered by the “three sisters” and the fruits of the tropics.
Swipe through the everyday foods 👉 black beans eaten at nearly every meal, stone ground corn tortillas, golden squash, tropical papaya, and hearty yuca.
Then keep going for three of my favorite Nicoyan recipes: Jose Guevara’s gallo pinto, from a man who lived to 105, a creamy butternut squash soup, and a big pot of Costa Rican bean soup.
Whole, local, and grown just outside the door.
Save this and share it with someone you love 🌿 Which one would you cook first? 👇
Beans are the common thread across every blue zones region, and a cup a day is one of the simplest ways to add years to your life. If you have wanted to make that a habit, my 30-Day Bean Solution is the easy on-ramp, with recipes, weekly meal plans, and the digestion protocol that skips the bloating.
