Bean Dry Tongue of Fire is a distinguished heirloom variety prized for its large, round fresh shell beans and striking red-streaked pods. These stringless pods can be harvested young as snap beans, offering versatile use fresh, frozen, or canned without losing their rich flavor. Originating from Tierra del Fuego, this variety combines superior quality with an attractive market presence. This non-GMO heirloom delivers consistent performance in home gardens and small-scale operations. The dual-purpose nature of the plant—yielding tender snap beans when picked early or mature shell beans at full maturity—maximizes your harvest window and culinary options. Plants reach productivity in approximately 70 days, with reliable germination rates that support successful crop planning. The distinctive red streaking on the pods adds visual appeal to fresh market displays or farm stand presentations, while the beans themselves maintain excellent flavor whether enjoyed fresh, preserved, or dried for storage. An elegant choice for gardeners and growers seeking both aesthetic appeal and reliable productivity in their bean crops.
