They are very good.
Judging from the amount of Puebloan dwellings we encountered on a recent vacation to northern New Mexico, I'd say their culture was very wide spread. I highly recommend Bandelier National Monument.
They were discovered in a burial pot of the Anasazi. Archeologists tried to cultivate the ancient beans as a lark—and it worked.
Not only are they tasty good, they are good in the following ways:
1. No presoak needed and Cook rapidly—necessary for a bean that is used in high altitudes where boiling water is a problme.
2. Nutricious: Even though most legumes have a high proteing factor, they have a higher protein than most.
you mean ‘musical’ fruit :-)
