"Jacob's Cattle beans are a New England heirloom, and maybe the most well-known one, dating back long before the colonial era. White with beautiful magenta "cow" spots, they are kidney-shaped, but more plump. They are a classic choice for New England baked beans from the days before New England varieties were abandoned for the fields of more uniform Navy beans grown for the canning industry."
"There are conflicting stories regarding the origin of this bean, but many attribute its cultivation to the Passamaquoddy tribe. One story claims the family of Joseph Clark was gifted some beans from Maine's Passamaquoddy tribe members when he was born in Lubec, Maine." - Adapted from Baer's Best website
