Now available at www.trueloveseeds.com! Dolique de Cuba (Long Bean) is a long, tender green bean that is terrific for cooking into sautés. Also known as Cuban Asparagus Bean, it is an old heirloom variety of long bean, which is a type of cowpea (black eyed pea, field pea) - a species native to West Africa. This particular type made its way to East Asia where the pod was further developed for eating when immature (rather than eating its seeds). This variety of long bean is green-podded with red seeds, and it has been grown in the United States since at least 1800, if not earlier, and was pictured and described in Vilmorin's The Vegetable Garden in 1885 (see third image). We should soon have the Gita Long Beans back in stock as well from @enyfarms as soon as the germination test results come in.
