This is 24 pounds of the highest quality pinto beans available. These are triple-washed and polished quality, which are not even available in retail grocery stores. When opened, you may notice they shine, but don't open them until they are needed. They are packaged in mylar to last 30 years using state of the art packaging methods to remove oxygen. The mylar is packaged inside of a food-grade white bucket with a removable, peel off lid to allow for easy inspection.  Proudly Made in the USA in Western North Carolina
