Bean Seeds Dry

    Grow a pantry harvest with dry bean seeds from David's Garden Seeds®. Unlike snap beans picked for tender pods, dry beans are grown for the mature beans inside, which are shelled and thoroughly dried after harvest.

    Pinto beans are a favorite around here for Mexican dishes, a simple pot of beans and a side of cornbread. Growing your own gives you the satisfaction of taking that familiar meal from garden to table.

    Choose Beans for a Homegrown Pantry

    • Harvest mature beans: Let pods mature and dry on the plant when weather allows. In wet conditions, finish drying harvested mature pods in a sheltered, well-ventilated location.
    • Plan for your growing season: Check each variety's maturity and growth habit, and allow enough frost-free weather for beans to mature.
    • Store a fully dried harvest: Shell and dry harvested beans thoroughly before placing them in airtight containers in a cool, dry location. Check for moisture or spoilage rather than relying on a guaranteed storage life.

    Start With the Planting Directions

    Direct sow in warm, well-drained soil after frost danger has passed. Follow the packet for planting depth, spacing and any support requirements. Seeds sold for planting are intended for sowing, not for eating; kitchen use refers to the beans you harvest and prepare appropriately.
