About
Slim purple filet bean. Pods turn green when cooked. Tender and stringless.
Growing
Direct-sow after frost. Inoculate seed for better yields. No support needed.
Harvest
Pick the filet pods at 4–6 in while still pencil-thin (about 1/4 in wide) and before the seeds start to bulge the pod. Choose firm, smooth, snap-crisp purple pods. Pick every 2–3 days at peak to keep the plant producing.
