SNAKE BEAN – Black Seeded

$3.50

Spectacularly long bean pods with black seeds

Snake beans are just spectacular! And those elongated pods have a strong, rich flavour too. The black-seeded variety has long been a favourite in Asian cooking and if you like your beans lightly cooked and a little bit crunchy (who doesn’t?) it’s the ideal choice for stir fires or as a late addition to soups, stews and casseroles. Grow them near a fence or provide support so that they can climb as nature intended them too and wow your family with absolutely unbelievable beans.
