A colourful bean with cranberry and cream mottling on the pod and seed. The young stringless pods are edible. Or let the beans mature on plant, harvest and dry in warm airy spot out of the sun. Shell the dry seed and store in an airtight container for up to 2 years. Use dried beans in soups, Mexican dishes, homemade baked beans...endless recipes!! A bush bean to 50 cm. 60 seeds
Bush Bean Borlotti 'Red Rooster'
'Red Rooster' has attractive mottled red pods, 13cm long, with 6-7 dark maroon and white seeds when fresh, changing to maroon and tan when dried; it is disease resistant and productive. It is mainly grown for use as a dried bean but the fresh podded beans are delicious. Use dried beans in soups, stews, Mexican dishes and baked beans. Days to harvest: 60 - 70; harvest when the pods rattle, hang upside down undercover; thresh when fully dried; freezing for 2 weeks before storage will kill weevils.
