I have done some research on some of my favorite beans and have discovered something.
But let me start from the beginning.
Some years ago at the HEB grocery store they sold cranberry beans but they dont anymore and I cant remember the name of the brand.
I had to look on line to find out other names for the beans.
Then I looked again at your list and see you have them in another section of your list but under a different name.
Romano.
Roma.
Are of the same type of bean as the cranberry bean.
It can also be found as a Roman bean.
These are of a flat Italian type bean and when cooked green are fantastic.
In this family of beans are the Cargamanto beans that originated in Columbia.
In my possession right now I have.
White Cargamanto that isnt really white.
Red Cargamanto that is a dark red.
Roman/romanas beans that look just like the cranberry beanand are the same thing.
In other words on your list you have duplicates more or less of the same type beans.
Red Cargamanto beans which isn't on the list is a bugger to cook correctly.
They need to soak a good 24 hours and need to cook for a long time let cool and cook again they are very firm but very tasty.
They do not break down into mush as is the case with other beans.
All of the beans like this I have are distributed by the GOYA company and the seeds/beans are viable.
You should be able to find them in the Mexican or international markets there.
I will put some pictures up of them later.
