Bobis D'Albenga Organic Bean Seeds

Great tasting green snap beans with gorgeous purple streaked pods. We think these are the best streaked green beans because they sport great flavor and remain crunchy and tender, not tough, even after pods are more mature. Plants are bushy, vigorous and have some resistance to Common Bean Mosaic Virus. An Italian Heirloom, we originally acquired the seeds during our trip as delegates to Italy for Slow Food’s Terra Madre event. Tasty eaten raw in the garden, in salads, and cooked. We love to live-ferment these beans or lightly sautéed with garlic, ginger, and toasted sesame seeds. Purple color will fade with pickling and cooking. 55 days to maturity.
