About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
This variety carries deep purple pods that stand well above the foliage, which makes them easy to spot when picking. On cooking the colour turns green, something children in the bed find especially fun. The plant is robust and tolerates cool early summers.
Strong, full bean flavour. Raw, the purple pods are an eye catcher; cooked they turn green and keep their aromatic bean character.
