Have a Question?

Your everyday green beans just turned purple. And what gives them a purple hue is a pigment called Anthocyanins. These are the most potent of phytonutrients that help us fight ill-effects of aging in addition to having anti-oxidant anti-inflammatory, and anticarcinogenic properties. Also known as Royal Burgundy Beans, these lose their purple color and turn green when cooked or exposed to heat. As far as the nutritional benefits are concerned, they are more or less the same as the green beans. Rather color rich foods, such as these are higher on nutrients and promise even better health benefits. But it is said that purple beans taste a little different and leave the palette with a slight sweet and nutty flavor. So go ahead and either steam, saute, stir-fry, roast, grill or bake a delicious serving of this mouth-watering dish.
Give the routine a break and try out this pretty purple variety of beans. We are sure you won't be disappointed and will end up growing more than just a bunch at your home too!

Exotic Bush Beans in Purple

Germination was quick and the quality of seeds was uniform too. Would have been happier if we got at least 30 seeds for the price it marked yet. Good buy, anyway.
