According to legend, at the turn of the 21st century a group of archeologists unearthed a clay pot in the ruins of an ancient Native American dig site. Inside the sealed pot were Anasazi beans, which, to the archeologists surprise, germinated shortly after being unsealed. In reality, Anasazi beans have probably been continually cultivated in the Southwest for centuries.
Anasazi Beans are an heirloom bean with a dappled burgundy and cream color pattern that fades to pale pink when cooked. Their mild flavor and firm texture makes them perfect in a wide array of recipes. Anasazi beans make a unique substitute for pinto, cranberry, pink, and navy beans.
Anasazi Beans are members of the larger family of legumes, plants used for their edible seeds and pods that boast a high nutrient density with low-maintenance production and storage. They contain high levels of protein, essential minerals and fiber while maintaining a low level of fats.
Believed to have originated in Peru, beans were spread through trade throughout South and Central America, later being introduced to Europe in the 15th century by Spanish explorers. Known as a high-quality, inexpensive source of protein and nutrition, they have become diet staples in many cultures and are now widely produced in Asia, Europe and North America.
