Pinto beans are one of the most familiar beans around - and deservedly! One of the state vegetables of New Mexico, these beans pop up often in refried beans, or simply cooked whole in all sorts of Mexican-American dishes, as well as in many chili recipes. Pinto is Spanish for "painted," referring to the beans speckled skins.

Don't forget that beans combined with wholegrain corn or rice (like our delicious Massa organic brown rice!) make a complete protein - one of the healthiest combos you can eat. (No wonder beans and tortillas, or lentil puree (dal) and rice have deliciously sustained billions of people in countries around the world!)

Why Use Dried Beans?
With a little advance planning for soaking time, dried beans are easy to prepare, and you'll really notice the difference in flavor and consistency compared to canned beans.
