Bean - Dark Red Kidney - Dry

Seeds/pack: 25

Germination Rate: 85%

We’ve become accustomed to thinking of dried beans as canned foods available in only a few types: black, pinto, navy, etc. But the variety is endless. Colorful and flavorful beans from around the globe are available, and once you’ve harvested a batch of these beauties and stored them in a glass jar on your counter, you may never return to bland old canned beans from the grocery store. Not only are dried beans great in the kitchen, but they also store practically forever–well, several years at least–and you can plant them again next year or exchange a few with a friend for another variety. They are a buy-once-in-your-lifetime kind of investment, except the seeds are only a few bucks. Not bad for a lifetime of plants and food!
