This traditional, ancient
bean is in high demand by those wishing to create authentic Latin and Native American cuisines.
Anasazi beans are small kidney shaped purple and white beans in the same family as pinto beans. They can be used in Latin American and Southwestern cuisines, and have a mild, sweet flavor. In any recipe which calls for Pinto beans,
Anasazi beans can be used as a replacement. They can also be used as re-fried beans, or combined with other beans for rich bean soups and stews. These
beans are also marketed as
New Mexico cave beans,
Aztec beans,
New Mexico appaloosas, and
Jacob's Cattle beans.
