 Small red bean: Though more tender with a milder flavor, the small red bean is often used interchangeably with kidney beans. Like kidney beans, their color is burgundy red, but they are small and round. Small red beans are used in chili, baked beans, spicy Cajun recipes, or any recipe that calls for a kidney bean.

 Navy bean (Boston, pea bean): Navy beans get their name because of the frequency with which they were served to sailors at sea. Navy beans are small in size and compatible in flavor and texture. Often used by commercial baked bean manufacturers, the navy bean is flexible and is used in soups, salads, casseroles, or ethnic dishes.

 Pinto bean: Pinto means “painted” in Spanish. Pinto beans derive their name from their mottled beige and brown skin. This medium‐sized bean is a staple in the diets of people in Mexico and the American Southwest. Pintos can be found in chili, refried beans, and many dips.

 Yellow‐eye bean: A member of the white bean family (along with great northern and navy beans), yellow‐eye beans are round and plump and retain their color when cooked. They are an attractive addition to soups and used in baked beans, and salads.
