Fremont Culture, Bean

Heirloom Pole Bean | Qty: 1 oz. | 100 Days to Dry

We were gifted a small handful of these wonderful ancient pole runner beans from a customer.  They are so wonderful, looking, for all the world, like Easter Egg candies, being multi-colored, chiefly lavender and black, but also having black beans and a few white.  And, they are big and fat too.  GORGEOUS and tasty as well.  They were initially found when construction was going on in southern Utah, unearthing a pot of these beans, originally grown by the Fremont People, which are no longer in existence.  They were active over 2,000 years ago and these beans are believed to be 800 years + old.  Only one company now grows them commercially, and they are still extremely rare. The blooms are white and some are red.
