Exclusive to Diggers through our Seed Donation program, the original seed was brought to Australia by John, an Italian Gardener, who shared this seed over a decade ago with Kel York (Diggers member and Seed Donor). A standout in our trials, this was one of the first beans to crop, bearing pods in just 8-9 weeks! Most commonly used as a dried bean because of its rich sweet beans, when young they can be enjoyed fresh from the vine. This is a rare heirloom bean cultivated by the Iroquois First Nations of Kahnawake, in Qubec. We are proud to be able to share this precious heirloom with Diggers Members across Australia.
