These are excellent!
This is our first year ever growing the Red Swan Bush Beans, and in our trial garden they are really starting to produce. The main reason that we decided to grow this variety is that the bean is a different color than the rest of the plant. That can be very helpful come harvest time, and it makes it easier for everyone to be able to harvest them, including the Little-Peppers. That's why the Red Swan Bush Bean is part of our "Color Coded Garden System."
One of the most interesting things about this bush bean is that the outside skin is only red when they are raw, and the inside color is a vibrant green. Basically, it helps out for harvesting them, and then if you cook them, they turn green and you'd never know the difference. How interesting is that?
Since the inside is green when the raw outside is still red, they provide a very interesting look when diced or chopped. In salads or vegetable trays they really stick out, and remind me of some sort of watermelon-flavored candy or something, but only by the looks of them, not by the taste. Anyway, we ate some up for lunch, and the cut color of the beans impressed me again, so I thought that I would share. Enjoy the photos!
