Royal Burgundy Organic Bean Seeds

Our 2018 farm crew’s favorite bush bean, Royal Burgundy is eye-catching, vigorous and quick to pick. Relatively tall compared to other bush-beans, making plants compete better with weeds. Color is dark violet on the outside with bright-green interior before cooking; heat makes the pods turn deep green. Green plants adorned with purple pods make for an easy harvest; even kids love picking the beans and eating them straight off the plant! Stringless pods usually grow to be 4-6” in length with light brown seeds that are easily saved. After weeks of devouring tender, young beans, we often sauté the full-size pods. We also blanch then freeze them to enjoy throughout the winter. Beans are not only an excellent source of protein and dietary fiber for us, their roots provide a valuable source of usable nitrogen to our soil. Plants are resistant to Common Bean Mosaic Virus. 55 days to maturity.
