Appaloosa Beans

Buying Tips

When buying appaloosas, as with all other dried beans, look for uniform, bright-looking skins.

Varieties

Appaloosas are related to pinto beans. Sometimes these beans are called Red Appaloosa; however, other bean varieties have also been known to borrow the same title, like the New Mexican Appaloosa, which is actually a different variety of bean.

Preparation, Uses, & Tips

Prepare appaloosa beans in the same ways as pinto beans. After a preliminary soaking, they can be either slow-cooked or pressure-cooked. 1 cup of dried appaloosas makes approximately 2 1/2 cups of cooked beans. Since they’re especially tasty in southwestern or Mexican cookery, try them in chili or stews.

Storing

Store the beans in a sealed glass or ceramic container.
