The Turkey Craw Bean produces 4-6" pods that are delicious when young, green, and snappy. When used as a dry bean, they are sweet, rich, buttery, and meaty in taste and texture. The seeds are a beautiful frosted brown and tan. The vines are often grown in cornfields. The story goes: this seed was found in the craw of a turkey brought home by a hunter in the 1800s. Many report he was an enslaved African American man. Please share more info about his story if you have it! This bean has been designated by Slow Food as an outstandingly tasty, culturally important, and endangered heirloom from Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee, and is listed in their Ark of Taste as a way to invite everyone to take action to help protect it. Available very soon at Truelove Seeds, and grown as a collaboration between Bear Bottom Farm (@wileymo) and Chelsea Askew (@chelskew) in Virginia and North Carolina. #turkeycrawbeans #phaseolusvulgaris #heirloombeans (at Bear Bottom Farm)

Today was a bean day. 1. Potawatomi Pole Lima (Phaseolus lanatus), a beautiful and prolific lima from the Potawatomi Nation in Wisconson. 2. Fagiolina del Trasimeno (Vigna unguiculata) is an endangered Italian cowpea from the hills around Lake Trasimeno in Umbria, and is now protected by Slow Food Italy. 3. Borlotto Lingua di Fuoco (Phaseolus vulgaris) is another Italian heirloom that I learned about in a recipe for Succotash that @rbsayet sent me from her great great uncle Harold Tantaquidgeon, who was a Mohegan chief. This Native American species (P. vulgaris) of bean was adopted and adapted by Italians and then again adopted for use in this Mohegan recipe. As an Italian who grew up on Mohegan land, I'm excited to care for this bean as well. Thanks to William Woys Weaver and @roughwoodseeds for introducing me to the first two beans! #legumes #borlottobeans #borlotto #bolottolinguadifuoco #phaseolusvulgaris #phaseoluslunatus #vignaunguiculata #fagiolinadeltrasimeno #cowpeas #blackeyedpeas #commonbean #heirloombeans #potawatomipolelima (at Newtown Square, Pennsylvania)

Heirloom Beans: look fabulous- rich in flavour- impressive health benefits. Want to know more? . . Beans are a staple if your a vegan or a vegetarian. . ☝🏽Heirloom beans come from seeds that are passed down from several generations. ☝🏽different because of their size, colour, shape and texture. 🤓 Ancient fact: Cultivated in New Mexico 1000s of years ago! 💪🏼Heirloom beans are rich in iron, calcium, potassium and protein. Their metabolites include polyphenols and flavonoids that contribute in the prevention of chronic diseases and reducing inflammation. 💪🏼great for blood sugar management, protecting the heart and boosting the immune system. . 😋 Taste impeccable in our opinion and can be grown easily. They yield a small amount at a time but we tend to save them up for making beans and vegetable stew to have in the winter months. . 👨‍🍳 soak overnight to release phytates then cook with lots of seasonable vegetables and add spices according to your taste. ( I can't do without my fresh Dalle Khursani chilli) . We cooked it in a pressure cooker with lots of onions, garlic and ginger. Zucchini and spinach added extra 👅... we seasoned with organic herbs and spices. . Other ways to eat them would be to blend in a paste and eat with carrots and celery. How do you eat your beans? . #heirloombeans #heirloom #organic #vegan #beans #healthyfood #healthyeating #yummy #instafood #cleaneating #homemade #healthyrecipes (at Australia)
