The pinto bean pod is a consumable item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics[]

Pinto bean pods are used for crafting mole rat stew as well as for reducing Starvation in Hardcore mode. Pinto bean pods can only be obtained from plants or Salient Green, and the plants themselves are only found in two areas in the base game, making them moderately difficult to come by.

Notes[]

  • Pinto beans plants are unusual in that each plant yields two pods. This means that while they are perhaps the hardest plant to find in the game, they are not the rarest plant-based consumable: one trip through the sharecropper farms can result in 134 pods.
  • The Pip-Boy icon for the pinto bean pods is identical to the icon for the wasteland omelet.
  • Like xander roots, pinto bean pods have no value.
