One of the oldest heirloom bean varieties in cultivation today and still the most popular dried beans in Italy, their full name translates as 'Tongue of Fire' in reference to their vibrant crimson pods which are splashed with white, while the beans are, in fact, the opposite (white splashed with red). A wonderful heirloom bean that transforms a humble dish into something buttery and rich. Delicious and highly productive.

Sebastian ★★★★★ Oct 22, 2026

Those crimson pods are absolutely gorgeous on the vine, exactly like the description says. They dried beautifully and cooked up creamy, just the way I hoped for a proper bean stew.

Natalie A. ★★★★★ Oct 21, 2026

I planted these in early June and was amazed at how quickly the vibrant crimson pods appeared. The dried beans have such a creamy texture when cooked, just perfect for soups.

Kevin ★★★★★ Oct 20, 2026

These pods really do look like little flames, just as the name promises. The plants are vigorous and easy to grow, and shelling the beans feels like a connection to old Italian kitchen traditions.
