Pinto cake

Overview

PintoBean, also known as kidney bean, is named after its shape like a human kidney and its whole body is covered with red meridians. Its nutritional value can be found by searching on Baidu, so I won’t go into details here. It is larger in volume than eyebrow beans and red beans, but it feels that the taste it brings is lighter. Foreigners like to add some ham or bacon to make soup. The author tried to use it to make cakes. Firstly, it makes the snacks unique. Secondly, the pinto beans are relatively large and have a pinky feel when cut. In short, it is just a toss-up.
