The story is that this bean was
discovered in the early 1900s
in the Anasazi cliff dwelling
ruins of the SW. The name is
a Navajo word that means
“the Ancient Ones”. Similar to
pinto beans in size, shape,
and speckled coloring, but
with 75% less of the gas-producing
compounds in pinto
beans. Very productive, even
in short seasons and under
stressful weather conditions.
If what you want is to eat the beans without growing them first, please look elsewhere.

Germinate well in the recommended conditions, but have been super delicate the taller they get.
