Plump but small, these heirloom Anasazi Beans about the same size as pinto beans, with a dappled maroon and cream pattern and subtly sweet, earthy flavor. They are excellent for adding creamy body to soups and stews; we especially like to treat them as pinto beans to make dips or refried beans.

Black Beluga Lentils are earthy-sweet and slightly peppery, with a more delicate flavor than regular brown lentils. These heirloom lentils, grown on small Idaho farms, pair beautifully with flavors like earthy garlic, tangy cheeses like feta and bright contrasts such as vinegars and citrus.
