$7.00 – $35.75

Cultivated by Native Americans, the name Anasazi® comes from the Navajo word “ancient ones.” The bean’s handsome dappled burgundy and cream patterns resemble the markings on Jersey cows. A side serving of fresh salsa compliments Anasazi’s pleasing texture and sweet flavor. Substitute for pinto beans in any recipe.
