A.k.a. Anasazi Bean. Gila River. Allegedly, archaeologists discovered this bean inside a pitch-sealed clay pot in a cave in New Mexico. Carbon dating revealed the bean to be 1500 years old! Besides being an excellent bean for various common uses, the cave bean contains fewer gas-producing compounds than most beans. Easy to grow. The plant is a nitrogen fixer. Pole bean type. Long vines climb to 10' and produce tasty pods. Beans are large and kidney-shaped, white with maroon mottling. The beans taste sweet and creamy (like a Pinto Bean) and cook to a smooth texture. They cook more rapidly than modern dry beans and are less gassy. A scarce collector's bean. Annual. 55 days to green beans and 90 days to dry beans.
