PureLiving® Sprouted Pinto Beans

Protein- and fiber-rich PURELIVING Sprouted Pinto Beans are a particularly good source of potassium, magnesium, iron, & folate (Vitamin B9). Named for their distinctive, speckled skin ("pinto" is Spanish for "speckled" or "painted"), pinto beans take on a rosy-pink color and creamy texture when cooked. They are among the most popular and widely-consumed beans in the United States and Mexico. A favorite plant-based protein to use in refried beans, chili, bean salads, baked beans and more! No soaking required, just cook and add to your favorite recipe!

Pinto beans are cousins of kidney beans, navy beans, black turtle beans and several other varieties (collectively known as "common beans") thought to have originated in Central America. 

A natural process for preserving the many wonders of new life, sprouting increases the bioavailability of key nutrients in the whole bean and simplifies their absorption by the body for energy and nourishment! Learn more about sprouting here.

Cooking Directions: Sort & rinse. In a large pot, mix 1 part beans with 10 parts water. Bring to a vigorous boil for 10 minutes. Reduce, boil and simmer for 50-60 minutes or until tender. Drain, season to taste, and serve.

Suggestions:
1. Pair with rice or another whole grain for complete, high-quality plant-protein.
2. Traditionally used in refried beans, chili con carne, burritos, & other Southwestern & Mexican dishes.
3. Substitute for black beans or kidney beans in soups, stews, or chili.
4. Mash beans & blend with garlic, pepper, & fresh herbs for a delicious dip or spread.
