Tiger's Eye Shelling Bean

50 Seeds

$ 3.69

Also known as Pepa de Zapallo, the Tiger's Eye bean originates from South America and still remains quite popular in parts of Italy.  These thin-skinned beans lend themselves to use in soups and refried beans as they are quite tender and have a tendency to fall apart when cooked.  Grow them yourself and you'll appreciate how quickly they cook (~35 minutes from fresh shelled beans to the table-no soaking necessary.)  Plants will occasionally send out short runners, but overall are bush type.  Approximately 80 to 90 days to harvest.  Each packet contains a minimum of 50 seeds.

Smooth, creamy texture.

I grew this variety 5 years ago. The harvest was huge. They have a wonderful, creamy texture when cooked. I always include them in the pot of calico beans with several other varieties with different tastes and textures. I am still using the stored harvest with no noticable change in taste or texture. Give these a little garden space and enjoy the harvest for several years.
