Pinto Beans

Pinto beans are beans that are strewn with scattered reddish brown color and have a beige background. As they have mottled skin, they are also known as mottled beans. They look like paint works. This was the reason why these beans are known as pinto beans, as Pinto means ‘painted’ in Spanish. But this color splash appears until you cook them. When these beans are cooked, the color splash disappears and they turn pinkish brown in color, along with a creamy texture.
