FOTH - I noticed a picture of yours that shows anasazi beans. I found a place called Adobe Milling in Dove Creek. Is that a good source to buy from? They seem to have good prices, and the shipping quoted online seems reasonable enough. They are closed until Monday, so figured I'd ask before ordering. Or is there another source for the anasazi beans that you would recommend?

Adobe Mills is actually the only place I've ever bought from--they sell their beans in the local grocery stores here in big burlap sacks. They're the ones who brought the variety back from near extinction, and as far as I know may be the only ones who sell them commercially. I'll have to check prices next time I'm at the store, and if they're a lot cheaper here, I can send you some! Great beans.  |

Adobe mills shows 50 pounds for $50 on their site, so figured that wasn't to bad of a price. They had 10 pounds listed at $12 and organic 10 pound bags for $15. Are the Bolita beans any good that adobe sells? Also what are "gourmet pinto beans"? Are they different than the normal pinto beans seen in stores? www.anasazibeans.com/shopping/beans.html |

I've never tried the Bolitas, but they do look good, don't they? The pintos I've had because they're a good deal here, and I've really never been able to tell a difference between them and other pintos you might find, though they do seem a good bit cleaner than most, with less rocks. But all beans have some rocks. Oh...enchiladas! That recipe looks good--and I have some chilies right now too, that I was given the other day. Now I'm getting hungry. Maybe I'd better go have a bite of Nutella!  |

But all beans have some rocks. The Bolitas do look tasty as well. Might have to order some to give a try.  Figured Monday morning I'll give adobe mills a call and get an order in for some anasazi and some bolita beans. Oh...enchiladas! That recipe looks good--and I have some chilies right now too, that I was given the other day. Now I'm getting hungry. Maybe I'd better go have a bite of Nutella! Some nutella sounds good too. Might have to go open a jar up. It might take away the hunger, but not the cravings for enchiladas. I'll have to make some enchiladas here soon... ;D |

FOTH - I was able to order a 50 lb bag of anasazi beans and a 10 lb bag of bolitas. Good thing I called in, the site under estimated shipping costs. Either way it will be good to get the beans, and at a good price. |

Glad you've got those beans on the way! Hope the shipping costs weren't too much.
I sure do like cooking with the Anasazis, and hope you and your family will, also. Because of an extra enzyme they contain, they cook as quickly as lentils and with no soaking, despite being roughly the size of pinto beans. And have their own unique, wonderful taste, too!

These sound great, we enjoy beans but I've not seen these around here, may have to hunt some up and give them a try. Something new besides the lentils, pintos, or navy beans we usually cook!
Good to know they are quick-cooking too!

Total cost for the beans figures to about $1.68 a pound for all 60 pounds ordered (shipping cost plus cost of anasazi and bolitas). Not a bad price compared to what Bob's red mill sells them for and some other companies charge for them (and these other places get them from adobe mills ). I'm looking forward to cooking some up after they arrive and of course putting some into long term storage too. Are there any recipes that you would recommend? |

Glad you were able to get a pretty good deal on those beans! I'll be interested to hear what you think of the bolitas, as I've never tried them.
As for recipes, I use the Anasazis in any and every recipe where I'd use pintos--chili, "bean burgers," mashed and mixed with brown rice, burritos, etc. They do have a bit of a sweeter taste than other similar beans and I've had some folks tell me they don't taste right in chili, but I like the Anasazi chili I make. You'll just have to experiment, and see how you like them best!
