This attractive purple-red and white bean cooks in about 2/3 the time of an ordinary pinto bean to a creamy even pink.
It has a sweet mild full flavor and a mealy texture, perfect for any Mexican, Latin American or Native American dish.
Compared to other beans, it contains only 25% of the specific complex carbohydrates sometimes responsible for gastric distress associated with dry beans- so, less gas.
Anasazi beans should be soaked for at least five or six hours.
