The regal and versitile Pinto

Beautiful white flowers attract bees and other insects.

Pinto beans drying on the vine – nearly ready to harvest the dried Pinto seed within.

Gorgeous seeds

Our beans can grow up to 3-4 metres tall. We use iron construction mesh to support their growth.

The fresh beans can be eaten raw (and I often do) or steamed to accompany any meal. Absolutely delectable.

The seeds swell in size when germinated. Cook for about an hour or until they melt in your mouth. Great in Mexican dishes. Scrumptious.
