About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

You will find ‚Dreifache Weiße’, a traditional, white‑seeded variety with large, flat seeds and very wide pods. Each pod often holds three to four impressive beans, giving it its name. The robust plants are high‑yielding and produce seeds that are worth eating fresh or drying for winter storage.

When fully ripe, the seeds taste mild and slightly mealy, similar to a good dry bean. When harvested young, they remain tender and fine.
