Description/Taste
Dragon tongue shelling beans are encased in a yellow pod with distinct purple streaks and flecks. Each pod is around four to five inches in length, and is tender and edible. Offering sweetness and a juicy texture when enjoyed raw, dragon tongue beans are prized as an all-purpose bean. The versatile dragon tongue beans may be used as fresh snap beans when very young and as shelled beans when fully mature.
Seasons/Availability
Dragon Tongue shelling beans are available late summer.
Current Facts
Shelling beans age in the pod as well as out. If you shake the pod and hear a rattle, the beans inside are dry. Fortunately they are still edible and just as easy to harvest.
