Holy cow! Does Cash & Carry have smaller bags? I have a store near
enough to me.

A website I found says:

A classic bean from Peru, the Mayacoba is also known as Canario or
Peruano. It's a small but meaty thin-skinned bean that will take on
all the flavors you can throw at it but still hold its shape. Great as
a substitute for Cannellini or great Northern beans but unique in its
own right.
