This green climbing bean with purple highlights is mainly consumed dry as a legume. Fresh, it is delicious, but only when very young.
This heirloom bean has lived through the tragic history of the Trail of Tears. In 1838, after the Treaty of New Echota, the Cherokee were deported from their lands west of the Mississippi. More than 18,000 people traveled more than 3,000 km on foot during a harsh winter, a journey that cost the lives of 4,000 of them. This bean has survived thanks to their resilience, carrying today the memory of a people.
