Pinto Bean Pod

The pinto bean pod is a consumable item in Fallout: New Vegas. It is also used for crafting mole rat stew.

Location

 * There are dozens of pinto bean pods located inside three greenhouses at the NCR Sharecropper Farms: normal-sized plants in the two northwestern-most greenhouses, and a few miniature plants in the southwestern-most greenhouse. Some will be counted as stolen but taking them will not result in karma loss, and they will not have the stolen attribute when dropped. This location also contains a great many maize plants, handy if you are going for mole rat stew ingredients.
 * There are at least three plants in the far southeast, roughly between Blue Paradise Vacation Rentals and Smith Mesa Prospector Camp.
 * There are several plants lining the riverbank in the Deathclaw Promontory in the southeast of the game map.
 * Many Pinto bean plants can also be found scattered along the shore of the Colorado River in the bottom right corner of the world map.
 * One can be acquired every 3 in-game days after the completion of Field Research, once you have upgraded the Biological research station.
