I love growing purple beans. We sell them at the Farmer's Market as "Barney Beans" and let the kids taste them. They usually like them!
Last year I grew purple pole beans and they were pretty good, but I really liked the tenderness of the variety I grew this year:
"Burpees Organic Garden Bean Royalty Purple Pod" - a bush snap bean.
Here's the funny thing about cooking purple beans - they turn green!
Fresh picked beans in the basket waiting to be blanched for freezing:
Beans with the tops snipped off and broken into pieces - look at the green insides:
Beans dropped into a pot of boiling water and starting to turn green!:
And finally, blanched and cooled purple beans that have turned green:
Isn't that fun?
