There is a 16th Century (IIRC) painting entitled The Bean Eater which shows
what appears to be a farmer eating a bowl of beans. The beans are kidney
shaped, white with a black spot at the inside of the bend. I haven't been
able to identify them, but I think they are some form of Phaseolus. The
painting may support your contention of early adoption.
