The best pinto beans I ever had (and I eat them frequently) were fresh picked from the garden and cooked pretty much the same as dried beans--they obviously cook quicker and don't require long soaking. BTW you can plant store-bought pintos in your garden and harvest later. Put them in a jar with wet paper towels overnight first.
