Indian Woman Yellow, Bean

Heirloom Bush Bean | Qty: 1 oz. | 85 Days to Dry

For a dry bean, you can’t beat Indian Woman Yellow, an old Native American bean from the West.  It is a smallish round bean that is quick to cook.  It has excellent bean taste and is very hardy.  The history is vague.  It’s thought to be either a dry bean brought to Montana by Swedish immigrants and then shared with Native Peoples or else an old Native bean shared with the Swedish immigrants.  Either way, it’s a great bean for homesteaders.
