Dried Anasazi Beans 16oz Bag (Pack of 6)

Description: Anasazi Beans were of the few crops cultivated by the ancestral Pueblos of the southwest. Anasazi (ahn-a-sa-zee) is a Navajo word meaning "ancient ones". The story of Anasazi beans varies, depending on who is telling it. In popular mythology, the beans were uncovered by an anthropologist, who discovered a 1,500 year old tightly sealed jar of them at a dig in New Mexico. Some of the beans germinated, and the new variety of bean entered cultivation again. Since most botanists agree that most beans are unable to germinate after approximately 50 years, it is more probable that the beans remained in constant cultivation in the Southwest, probably in Native American gardens, and that they were picked up by companies looking for new "boutique beans. WHAT YOU GET: Anasazi Beans in 16 oz bags (Pack of 6). Open and use what you need, and keep the rest fresh in sealed bags.
