They are all referred to as the "common bean" because they are derived from a common bean ancestor that originated in Peru. From there, the beans spread throughout South and Central America, migrating to Indian trade. The beans were introduced to Europe in the 15th century by Spanish explorers returning from their journey to the New World. Spanish and Portuguese traders brought them to Africa and Asia. Combine the creamy pink texture of pinto beans with whole grain like brown rice and you get a nearly lean, high-quality protein meal. When combined with whole grains like brown rice, kidney beans provide virtually lean, high-quality protein. However, this is far from what all kidney beans have to offer.
