Decoratieve struikdroogboon uit Vermont (USA). Zeer mooie roosrode bonen met paarse vlekken en strepen. Ideaal boontje om heelhuids door de crisis te komen.
"An extremely popular New England heirloom bean because of its ability to produce such a bumper crop in short summers. This bean was the backbone diet of many New Englanders during the winter and kept many of them alive when food was scarce. The reason is that once dried, these beans will keep for a long time providing the protein a person needs to keep warm in the winter when the garden is bare.
Vermont Cranberry bean can be harvested young as a green bean or allowed to dry. This bean has a unique sweet taste, fine quality and is easy to shell. Vermont Cranberry is extremely reliable. If you are concerned about tough economic times ahead this bean can be a real life saver, as it has been in years gone past." (Sustainable seed co' uit California) (bron: Guy Dirix)
