Varieties

The anasazi bean is a member of the Phaseolus family and is related to the pinto bean.

Buying and storing tips

Anasazi beans that have been recently dried have more complex flavors. Inspect them for signs of age and bean quality, while avoiding dull-looking beans. Store dried anasazi beans in a glass jar for up to a year, or keep them refrigerated for extended storage. Cooked beans will keep in the refrigerator for a week.

Preparation, uses, and tips

Before cooking, soak the beans for six to eight hours, then on the stove for two hours, or pressure cook for fifteen minutes. 1 cup of dried anasazi beans yields approximately 2 1/2 cups of cooked beans. Anasazi beans can be used in recipes calling for pinto beans.
