Bean Seed

Beans are the second most popular home garden vegetable after tomatoes. It's easy to see why. Growing beans is probably one of the easiest vegetables of all. Just plant them in an area with lots of sunshine, good drainage and well fertilized soil. There are many different types of beans. The snap pole or bush bean is eaten in the immature stage, shell and all. Lima, pinto, broad/fava & kidney beans are eaten at the mature stage - only the bean itself is consumed. Beans are loaded with fibre, protein, complex carbohydrates, folate and iron.

 

NOTE: SHIPPING BEANS - S have extra fibre to prevent breakage during the long journey to market and to keep their appearance (less lumpiness). They are never used for processing, freezing or canning, but can be used for the first and last sowings for PYO (pick your own) operations. Chain stores prefer this type - they stay “beautiful” for extended periods. This type can be machine harvested. FRESH MARKET BEANS - F and GOURMET BEANS - PG have less fibre and some very tender types will get lumpy fast, if you don’t harvest on a regular basis during hot weather. pvp - Plant variety protected.
