Let's talk about new crop pintos!
On the left is last year '25 crop and on the right is the new '26 crop.
The main difference you'll notice immediately is the color, as the new crop are alot lighter in color!
The dark,older crop beans are perfectly fine to eat,dried beans are very good keepers!
Cooking time will be the next difference you'll notice. Older beans usually require being soaked before cooking because they take alot longer to cook.
New crop pintos cook alot faster with no soaking required!
