Black Troot Beans

Black Troot Beans

Phaseolus vulgaris

 A German heirloom variety. The Black Troot Bean is beautiful with purple/black/white speckled coloring. Can be harvested young to use as green beans, or left on the plant to dry for cooking. The mild flavor and creamy texture of these dried beans lends itself to just about any recipe requiring dried beans. This variety is quite rare and often hard to come by.
