Anasazi beans are indeed reputed to be the direct decendants of beans
found in Anasazi Native American site in Colorado and New Mexico. Largely
grown around Dove Creek, Colorado, they are similar to pinto bean, but
more flavorful. Try http://www.dc-infoserv.com/adobe/homefrm.html.
The striking coloration goes away on cooking. I seem to recall a group
down around Tucson that was busy promoting a variety of native bean crops.
I'll try to find the address.
