Beefy Resilient Mix

Phaseolus vulgaris

The best tasting bean we've ever tried! Such rich delicious beefy flavour from these small thin skinned shinning jewels. And they are beautiful, with their mix of hearty earth tone colours from black to tan to ochre and brown. Soaking them overnight brings out gorgeous shades of blues and purples and greens! We let them sit for an extra day after soaking just to enjoy the colours...seriously.

Cook like you would any black bean but prepare enough for seconds!

Growing instructions:

Direct seed 5cm (2") deep, 5-8cm (2-3") apart as soon as soil is warm, in rows 45cm (18") apart. Thin to 15cm (6") apart. 8-16 days to germination. For dried beans, stop watering when the pods first start to dry. Harvest when all pods are dry, then store in a dry place with good airflow out of direct sunlight to dry completely before shelling.

Growing tips: This productive running bush bean benefits from some support but will manage without. Bred for organic systems with strong genetics that will do well in all kinds of gardens and farms.
