Beans Dry
Dried Bean seeds such as Black Turtle and Red Kidney are excellent protein sources when combined with whole grains, nuts or small amounts of meat or fish. CERTIFIED ORGANIC beans also contain fiber and minerals (remember to discard the soaking and cooking water to decrease flatulence). When dry, shell pods individually or bash plants back and forth in a bag or pillowcase. We recommend sowing early ( mid May) so plants can mature as many pods as possible. Wait till the pods are straw colored, then pull the plant up and hang to dry.
Black Turtle
This variety is easy to grow on upright bushes. The handsome purple pods cover small black seeds that bring excellent flavour to refritos, refried beans, soups, and chili.
Matures in 100 days. (open pollinated seeds)
Black Turtle Organic
An old HEIRLOOM that has been grown for over 150 years. Plnts are "semi-runners," meaning they grow on bushes that benefit from some support. These tasty soup beans turn from black to dark brown when cooked.
Matures in 80 days. (open pollinated seeds)
Borlotti
The Italian HEIRLOOM. LOng vines that will grow to 20 feet tall if provided support. These "rampicante" climbing beans produce masses of 15cm (6") pods by late summer, each filled iwth good, firm, cream coloured beans streaked with red. You'll be amazed how productive this vigorous climber can be. The beans are easy to shuck and dry, and once reconstituted for winter soups, they are creamy in texture, with a wonderful nutty flavour.

French Horticultural
French HEIRLOOM beans grown for dried seed, also known as Borlotti or Cranberry beans. 15cm (6”) pods are not recommended for eating - save the dry beans instead. The seeds and pods are yellow, streaked with red. These are nutty to chestnut in flavour, and have a creamy texture. Popular in Mediterranean cuisine. For dwarf variety, see BN159, the Taylorhort variety.
Matures in 65 days. (open pollinated seeds)
Orca
If a cow were a bean this is what they would look like! This bean is fun for kids! Sometimes called Yin Yang or even Calypso, these unusual HEIRLOOM bean seeds are from Mexico. The bush plants need to be started as early as possible to ensure that the pods mature to a crisp texture while on the plant in late August. The stunning black and white seeds are a cook's delight.
