ANASAZI BEANS

Description:

Anasazi Beans, also called Cave Bean, are a small legume related to the Kidney Bean.  Anasazi is a Navajo word meaning Ancient Ones and cultivation of this bean is traced back to the Anasazi Indians who lived in the Southwestern region of America.  One of the few crops grown by Native Americans, the beans name comes from the Anasazi Tribes of the four corners area (where Colorado, Utah, Arizona & New Mexico come together).  These beans are ½ inch long, kidney shaped, with a sweet, mild flavor and mealy, firm texture.  Dappled burgundy and cream colors, this bean will fade when cooked to form a dark pink.  Compared to other beans, it contains only 25% of the specific complex carbohydrates that produce gastric distress, making it a popular addition to soups, casseroles and even burgers!
