A classic chili bean that holds its shape through long, slow, cooking and exudes a generous, dark, rich broth.
A really lovely cousin to the Anasazi bean, Vaquero have intriguing black and white markings, not unlike an appaloosa horse might don. The flavor is somewhat like the Anasazi but it's a little lighter. The real fun is the inky,

These beans are fresher than any others I can get so they always cook up beautifully with a depth of flavor.

Wonderful variety of heirloom beans. I live in Florida and am originally from California born and raised, and I am so grateful that I can get beans that I’m used to which cannot be found where I live now.

I gifted 4 different beans to my 94 year old mother . She loves beans. When they arrived she called me. So excited! I bought the book as well for her. She said the beans were so pretty she hated to cook them! But will because she had never ever seen such beautiful beans. And has many adventures in beans to follow now.
