Bean, Bush - Royal Burgundy (seeds)

Royal Burgundy beans are a delightful heirloom variety of snap beans. 
 
Description
Royal Burgundy beans grow as upright bushes, reaching a height of 15 to 20 inches. Unlike climbing or pole beans, their foliage is green, but what makes them unique is their deep purple outer shell. Inside, the beans are green with beige seeds. Each bean matures to a length of about 5 to 6 inches. They have a crisp, mild flavor similar to more common green beans and are considered stringless.
 
Cooking Inspiration
When you cook Royal Burgundy beans, they change color! Once tender, they turn from dark purple to green, which is both fun to watch and a sign that they’re perfectly cooked.
 
You can prepare them in various ways:
Stir-Fry: Pair them with other veggies, protein, and soy sauce for a quick stir-fry.
Salads: Use them in colorful bean salads or add raw purple beans to classic lettuce salads.
Simple Side Dish: Steam them with a touch of salt, pepper, and lemon juice for a nutritious side dish.
 
Health Benefits
Royal Burgundy beans are nutritious:
High in fiber, folic acid, and vitamins C, A, and K.
Loaded with antioxidants.
Very low in calories.
Beneficial for people with diabetes, eye problems, heart disease risk, bone health issues, or compromised immune systems.
 
Growing Your Own
Royal Burgundy beans are fun to grow, especially when you see the purple beans against their green foliage. They thrive in rows, containers, or raised beds. Suitable for a wide range of climates but can be sensitive to frost.
