Dragons Tongue #188

Dragon’s Tongue beans are heirloom bush beans with cream-colored pods streaked with vibrant purple. The pods are tender and stringless when young, and the beans inside are pale with a nutty flavor.

To grow them, plant seeds in well-draining soil with full sun after the last frost. Space seeds 4-6 inches apart in rows. Water regularly but avoid overwatering. Harvest pods when they are 4-6 inches long, before the purple streaks fade, for best flavor. They can be eaten fresh, steamed, or shelled when mature.
