The listing, 40 Rattlesnake Bean Seeds has ended.

Rattlesnake beans are hybrids of the pinto bean which are typically sold dried, although they are perfectly palatable fresh. The beans are distinguished by a tender texture and a strong, almost tangy flavor which pairs well with a wide assortment of cuisines. Southwestern cuisine often features rattlesnake beans, and they can also be used in Latin American food or included in recipes from other parts of the world. Many markets stock rattlesnake beans, and they are also extremely easy to grow at home.

Young rattlesnake bean pods are typically streaked with purple when they are ready to eat as green beans; they can also be left on the vine to dry out, in which case the resulting beans are a creamy brown in color with streaks of dark brown. Dried rattlesnake beans have a roughly oblong shape, and they tend to be fairly small. When cooked they turn all green.
