Pintos
Pintos are our specialty
The soil, the seed, and the care we put into the ground is what makes our pintos the best.
You will find out pinto beans across the United States and Mexico. As the most eaten bean in the US as well as northwestern Mexico, we pride ourselves on producing the best pintos we have ever eaten.
The pinto bean provides a great source of protein. Rice and pintos along with cornbread or corn tortillas are served where meat is unavailable. Due to the pintos amino acids it contains, the combination makes it a complete protein source.
