Whole Foods' beans for seeds

I heard recently of using beans from the grocery store as garden seeds, with Whole Foods suggested as a good source for clean, well-handled legumes. Whole Foods wouldn't sell GMO beans and offers several organically-grown varieties.

To test the beans, I ran a seat-of-my-pants germination trial. I took 10 seeds of ten varieties: Pintos, Adzuki, Anasazi, Red Kidney, Cannelini, Red Beans, Navy Beans, Soy Beans, Black Beans and  Baby Lima Beans. Of the ten, all but the Back, Red and Red Kidney Beans are labeled "organic". For the trial, I used distilled water, with the seeds placed between layers of paper towel.
