Pole bean: Purple Yardlong
R30.00 incl VAT
This variety is from Peak Week Pods. JC Terblanche says: ‘These purple beans grow to between 30 and 50 cm long! They are in the Vigna (cowpea) genus, but the taste to me is even better than normal green beans. They are climbers and will need a trellis to vine on and support the great number of beans they produce. They love the late summer and warm temperatures so best to plant them in summer. The beans can be used in the same way as standard beans, but will probably need to be cut into more manageable portions. The purple coloring will often revert back to green when cooked, but this will not affect flavour. This is a truly unique and remarkable Asian vegetable.’
