The bolita bean is similar to a pinto bean. It is high in protein, but a little sweeter with a creamier texture, and they seem easier on the digestive system.
If you're not familiar with the bolita bean, it is a small pinkish bean similar in shape and size to the pinto and cooks in a relatively short amount of time. They have a nutty, earthy, and slightly sweet taste. Their texture resembles meat; that’s why they are quite perfect for baking. Bolita beans will absorb what ever spice you put into them making them a great choice for making BBQ beans.
