Ayşe Kadin Fasulye Pole Bean
25 Seeds
After many requests from Turkish-American gardeners, we have finally hunted down an authentic strain of Ayşe Kadin Fasulye! Originating from a strain collected in Turkey by the USDA back in 1948, this variety produces enormous yields of flattened green beans averaging 5-6" in length. While they do need to be de-strung, we find it well worth the effort as the cooked beans are so incredibly tender and flavorful. Our customers tell us that they are traditionally cooked up with onions, tomatoes, olive oil, salt and sugar to make a bean salad that is then chilled and served cold. We've yet to try them that way, but based on how they taste in a traditional American preparation, we're certain that the Turkish recipe would be even more delicious! Pole-habit. 70-80 days to harvest. 25 seeds per packet.
