Black Valentine Beans
Black Valentine Beans are a bush variety of bean, but because the plant grows up 18 inches (45 cm) tall, some like to grow it as a pole variety.
Its 6 inch (15 cm) long pods are stringless, smooth and fuzz-free.
Instead, the dark blackish-green beans are shaped like kidney beans, with glossy skin.
Black Valentine Beans have a rich flavour and a meaty texture.
Black Valentine Beans are 50 to 80 days from seed, depending on where you are, and the plant is pick and come again.
Cooking Tips
Black Valentine Beans can be used fresh as green beans, or dried.
After cooking, the dried beans turn a purplish colour.
