Heirloom Red Yard Long Bean Seeds

The yard-long bean, also called the Chinese long bean, traces its origins to southern Asia and was first documented in the New World by Carl Linnaeus in 1763. A member of the cowpea family, it closely resembles green beans but offers a richer flavor and firmer texture. Like many purple and red beans, it turns green when cooked. (Price Includes 25 Seeds)
