A couple friends have been gushing about the beans at Roots Farm, from the Saturday and Tuesday farmers market. I was on my pinquito kick and by the time I was interested, they were nearly sold out, or not bringing them to the market when there was a chance of rain.The beans appeared today, just a few pounds when I made it to the stand, and I bought the whole lot!

Dried, they vary in color from a deep bluish black, to pale brown. Cooked, they change to a more consistent dark brown, but retain a little variation.
More experimentation required.
