Beans, Long

80 days. An impossibly long and incredibly delicious treat from Asia that is sure to thrive in your garden. The noodle bean, which is, botanically speaking, a cowpea, is supremely heat tolerant. It creates vines that can grow up a trellis or crawl across the garden. It can be enjoyed as a green bean, or allowed to mature and treated as a dry bean. Harvest the skinny pods when about pencil thin and prepare them as you would a green bean (e.g., raw, pickled, stir fried, and more). Consider the long bean your go to for midsummer production when your regular green beans cannot stand the heat. Southern gardeners, especially those way down in Florida, know this is the ultimate heat-loving summer crop.

Customer Favorite! 80 days.This is the most stunning and unique bean we have grown yet. Fantastic deep red, 18-inch pods are so delicious and full of nutrition, and they even keep most of their color when sautéed! Long vines produce all summer and do well under many conditions. This incredible variety will draw lots of attention in your home garden or at market. We are so excited to offer this unique, Chinese ethnic variety that produces fairly early. Small red seeds.

This is a true “Yard Long” bean that can easily reach over 3 feet long! Get high yields from a small space; the vines set a heavy crop of these delicious pods that will amaze your friends. We love these beans stir fried. They have superior flavor to common beans. The dry beans are black in color and make a superb cooking bean. This rare variety was brought to America by a Taiwanese immigrant around 1970. This versatile Asian bean has garnered the nickname “asparagus bean” for its crisp texture, reminiscent of the favorite seasonal delicacy. Also called noodle beans, the young pods make a perfect spaghetti substitute. This is the longest bean we have seen!

70 days.Vigorous bush habit for those who want to grow long beans but prefer not to trellis. Foot-long pods are firm and very flavorful. Pods are strikingly different in appearance, having tiger stripes in dark red-brown. A superior variety from Thailand, where long beans are a staple crop. Unusual and very choice!
