Description
Pinto beans are slightly smaller than kidney beans (about 3/8”-1” long). They have a light, buff-coloured background with a pinkish brown freckled pattern, which becomes a uniform pink when cooked. Their flavour has been described as earthy and full-bodied, and they have a mealy texture. Pinto beans are closely related to red kidney beans.
