Details

Beans are traditionally grown for their fruits and seeds, to be eaten as a fresh, dried, or sprouted vegetable.
A flour is also obtained from the seeds and used to enrich a preparation with proteins or to thicken a soup.

The plant is antifungal and a source of biomass (nitrogen fixing).

It also has the following medicinal properties: Anticancer, Diuretic, Hypoglycemic, Hypotensive, and Narcotic.

There are many varieties of beans.

The Yin Yang Bean is a dwarf dry shelling bean, very productive (a plant can yield twice), with black and white seeds, very original and often sought after for decoration, since they look like the symbol of the Tao.
Very tasty and smooth, the seed of the yin yang bean tastes somewhat like chestnuts.
A delicious curiosity to have in your vegetable garden.

Sow Phaseolus vulgaris var. Starazagorsky at the end of May in warm soil, in place, in rows 40 cm apart.

Harvest the pods when they turn yellow and start to wither, preferably before they are completely dry (both facilitates hulling and prevents weevil laying).
Then finish drying the beans before storage, or freeze them semi-fresh for later consumption.
