Black Coco Bush Snap & Dry Bean

60 days to snap; 70 days to shelling; 95 days to dry bean harvest Phaseolus vulgaris

HEIRLOOM We hope we’re never on a desert island with a handful of seeds, but if we are, we’re bringing Black Coco. Most beans have been selected to excel in one of three stages: snap, shell or dry. And we all know how to finish the phrase, ‘a jack of all trades…’ but truly, Black Coco Bush Snap & Dry Bean marvelously masters all three. First, you’ll harvest a lusciously satisfying green Italian flat bean. Ten days later you’ve got fat, easy to peel shelling beans and finally your green pods turn gold, bursting with huge marbles of delicious black beans ready to feed you all winter.

Would you love to receive these seeds? Rather than selling and shipping, we share seeds as an embodied gift practice.

    I usually only grow pole beans but was tempted to try this bush bean after reading the description. It was an excellent idea because not only did we enjoy an abundant yield of deli green beans (flat pod type), but we also now have a good supply of gorgeous dried black beans for the winter. I only planted about half the seed packet, so I can imagine how large a yield I could have gotten if I had planted the whole packet!
