Notes: I have never cared for beans but I'm a fan of these. I believe they are specific to southwest Colorado. Anasazi beans were discovered in a sealed urn at Mesa Verde. The beans where taken to the Hesperus Agriculture Station to see if they would sprout as some did! They did so well they are now grown commercially. They are also one of the few vegetables that have a complete protein which is why the corn is not needed to complete the protein.
