Mayflower Pole Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris)

Some believe these bespeckled, squarish beans were carried across the pond by Pilgrims while others believe they are native to the Americas. Regardless of its origin, Mayflower yields especially lovely, flavorful dried beans. Young green pods make delicious snap beans when harvested early.
