Oooohhh...Peruvian beans sound interesting. I'll have to look those up in the seed catalogs. This year we have some beans that look like Limas, but with brown and white mottling. I haven't found the names of those yet. We didn't get too many of them though, so I'll cook just a few up for tasting and plant the rest next year.
We grow some shelling beans every year and then save some for planting the next season. We decided to plant more than usual because grocery prices are so high right now and I don't think that they are headed down anytime soon. Growing beans is way cheaper than buying them and they taste so fresh and beany. You just have to take time and energy to soak and cook them.
Last night I made "15-minute Black Bean Soup," which took much long than that to prepare. It was delicious! Even my son tried it.
