NY Spice Shop Whole Pinto Beans - Kidney Beans - 5lbs.

The pinto bean is a variety of common beans. It is the most popular bean in the United States and northwestern Mexico,[1] and is most often eaten whole (sometimes in broth), or mashed and then refried. Either way, it is a common filling for burritos in Mexican cuisine. The dried pinto bean is the bean commonly used reconstituted or canned in many dishes, especially refried beans. It is popular in chili con carne, although kidney beans, black beans, and many others may be used in other locales. Pinto beans are found in Brazilian cuisine. Legumes, mainly the common bean, are a staple food everywhere in the country, cultivated since 3000 BC, along with starch-rich foods, such as rice, manioc, pasta, and other wheat-based products, polenta, and other corn-based products, potatoes, and yams. Pinto beans are also a very important ingredient in Mexican cuisine.
