Default El Salvador Beans and Tomatoes

I have a friend from El Salvador whose family has grown from seed both tomatoes and beans some have been passed down from his family for 200 years and originally from Mayan Indians

Fairly soon he is going to have some bean available that can be cooked fresh (not the pods) or dried and save to cook like other dried beans

The one he has now is called Granados Chili Puca (Granados, his last name) . Has anyone ever seen or grown this?
It looks like a pink lima bean with 2-3 beans per pod.
If anyone knows anything about this variety let me know if I should send to SSE.

There is another runner type long bean called Monkey - don't know alot about it either except they have grown from seed for years and it is green.

Also he has access to tomatoes that his great great grandparents and family members have passed down through the years and other varieties neighbors have grown for many years also - I don't have the names of these yet or seed but am aquiring
Does anyone know of any tomatoes or beans from El Salvador they would like me to try and get?

I have never read much on tomatoes etc from El Salvador or much of So America except for 3-4 persons who save seed years ago but no further info - any info anyone

Dennis
