Weird "Beans"

[William]

Some photos of a great bean you find for sale here. This is how they look once you take them out of the husk. (they have not been sprouted or anything like that) Each "bean" is about .5 inch / 4 cm long.

Interesting. What do they taste like?

[gm72]

Geez, it looks like the poor bean has been gutted. Anyone have any idea what it is? Never saw anything like it before.

[Gayle]

Wow that is pretty!!! Do you eat them or cook with them???

[William]

Haven't tasted them yet. But have put a few of them in the ground to see what they look like. Bought them yesterday since I never tried them before.

LOL, I agree GM, looks like it's been gutted!

Tell us what they taste like Will (how do you cook them or do you eat the raw?)

[William]

Will let you know as soon as I tried one. I think you eat them raw but will try them both ways.

They look very interesting. Hope they taste good.

Cool looking beans but I think i'd do a little research
before eating them raw.

[William]

I think it is cool as long as I don't eat to much of them raw ;-)
