There are other plants called rice beans that produce reddish seeds and are an Asian species, Vigna umbellata. The ones I grew are part of the common bean species Phaseolus vulgaris, of South/Central American origin, and produce white seeds. Here's what they look like when shelled:

Rice bean. Cook as you would a lentil. No soaking required.

I usually soak over night before I cook. Cook with a little ginger and bay leaf to reduce gas.
My favourite place for them is in vegan eggplant meatballs or in Texas caviar (I like white vs black bean). You can use them anywhere you use a black bean with similar results.
they're smaller than navy beans. here they are next to a few dried navy beans.

Has anyone heard of Rice Beans? I bought them on a whim but can't find anything about them online; the only hits I get are for beans and rice. They are like grains of rice, but presumably beans. Anyone have any experience with these kinds of beans?
