Category: Seeds

A green bean on the bush, the true beauty is revealed when dried and podded to reveal the stunning black and white beans within. Similar in appearance to Yin Yang, the universal symbol of balance and harmony, others also refer to these stunning bush beans as Orca Bean and most commonly Calypso Bean because of its Caribbean origins. Once favoured in the "three sisters" system (beans, corn and squash) by the Abenaki Tribe of the Champlain region in the USA. Swells to twice its size when cooked and has a lovely potato-like starchy flavour.

Jason ★★★★★

I wasn't sure how they'd look fresh off the bush, but after drying and shelling them, the contrast between the black and white beans is just as striking as the description promised. They’re a real conversation starter in the kitchen.

Mia ★★★★★

The dried beans are absolutely stunning—that black and white contrast looks exactly like the symbol. I’ve already saved a handful to plant next season, and the rest are a gorgeous addition to my pantry jars.

Hazel X. ★★★★★

Dried a handful of these out of curiosity and the contrast of the black and white beans is even more striking than the photos suggest. They’re small but surprisingly satisfying to shell. A fun, unusual plant to grow just for the visual payoff.
