Bean Seeds, Calypso heirloom
Bean Seeds, Calypso heirloom
Another heirloom bean that is delicious dried to make into baked beans or in soups and stews (see also Arikara Yellow). Round black-and-white seeds are also called "Orca" or "Ying Yang" beans. They are fun to look at. When they are cooked the black turns into a deep pink (much like a kidney bean). This is a bush variety of bean. It averages 4-5 seeds per pod. Very adaptable to different growing zones. This is the cutest bean on either side of the Mississippi.

Our Mission
Our Mission
(✿◠‿◠)
We sell small batches because we think it's important to try a bunch
of different types of plants in your garden, and in your climate,
to see what is beneficial.
Our seeds are harvested fresh every Fall when we make small batches to sell. We also source fresh seeds for the year from local farmers, seed banks, and non-gmo organically grown suppliers.
THAT MEANS:
• Non-GMO
• USA grown
• Open-pollinated
• Untreated (no fungicides, pesticides, herbicides, etc.)
• Tested to meet the highest germination standards
