appaloosa bean

Pronunciation: [ap-pah-LOO-sah]

A small, long and narrow dried bean that's white on one end and dark brown with tan streaks on the other. Its name comes from the Appaloosa horse—both horse and bean hail from the Palouse, an area that encompasses southeast Washington and northwest Idaho. See also beans.
