Current Facts
Black Coco shelling beans are botanically a part of Phaseolus vulgaris and are a black, bush bean variety. Like many members of this genus, the Coco bean can be used when immature as a fresh eating bean, pod and all, then once fully matured can be used as a shelling bean. In both forms, the Black Coco is a specialty bean and today is mostly a home garden bean or one that is grown for the farmers market.
