Karenni Purple Bean is a purple bush shelling field pea. Karenni farmers from Burma shell this field pea for a fresh bean, often cooked in soup with squash leaves and fresh long beans. This freshly shelled bean can made into fritters by blending the beans with flour then formed into balls and deep fried. The beans can also be steamed then smashed and fried with meat. This variety is stewarded by Rosa Meh, a leader of Karenni Hope Farm, a community farm at Providence Farm Collective outside of Buffalo, NY. Rosa grows Karenni chilies and specialty beans for local grocers in Buffalo and is beginning to sell seeds in 2024. Days to maturity: 60-65 Seeds per pack: 35-40 Germination rate: 83% 03/20/2025 Planting / harvesting notes Direct sow southern peas safely after frost, any time between late May and mid-July.
