Pinto Beans — photo 1

Pinto beans are the speckled beans of Mexican and Tex-Mex cooking, eaten whole, in burritos or as refried beans. A 150 g cooked portion gives about 215 kcal, 13.5 g of protein and 13.5 g of fiber, and is high in folate, copper, manganese and thiamin, with useful vitamin B6, magnesium, phosphorus, iron and selenium. Dry pinto beans swell to about 2.4 times their weight when cooked.
