Bean - Pinto - Phaseolus vulgaris

Tender Annual Bush. Dry. Heirloom. This speckled bean is the most popular bean in the U.S. and is beloved by kids and adults alike. Pinto beans are perfect for frijoles refritos, mashed in burritos, or served whole. Green (fresh) pintos are a gourmet treat in Mexico. The delicious mild flavor is the hallmark of this staple of Mexican cuisine.

Did You Know? Pinto beans get their name (like Pinto ponies) from their mottled coloring.
