                                Native American tribes, including the Abenaki, historically cultivated Yin-Yang beans as part of their 'three sisters' planting system, alongside corn and squash. Also known as Calypso or Orca beans, this heirloom legume is celebrated for its distinctive bicolored black and white pattern and delicious, creamy texture when cooked.
