Are there worms in dry pinto beans?

Yes, dry pinto beans can sometimes contain pests such as worms or larvae if they have been improperly stored or are old. These pests typically come from the bean weevil, which can infest beans during storage. However, if the beans are stored in a cool, dry place and are relatively fresh, the likelihood of finding worms is minimal. Always inspect dry beans before use to ensure they are free from pests.
