Bean Dried Dalmatin is an heirloom Bean with a remarkable black and white colour pattern which gives them the appearance of the Yin Yang symbol of Chinese astrology; other people see it looking like the Orca Whale. They are smoothly textured with a good mild flavour and are great for baked dishes and stews and can add visual appeal to almost any recipe or salad. It is a dwarf Bush Bean to 15" high, producing compact and high yielding plants, the beans can be harvested as green beans when very young and tender like French beans, or they can be left on the plant until the pods are dry. These can then be shelled to reveal the quite fascinating beans that can be dried.
