Well-known in southern China, Red Noodle is a heat-loving, productive bean that thrives in hot summers where other bean varieties struggle. String-free pods are tender and flavorful — essential in Sichuan cuisine, excellent stir-fried, steamed, pickled, or deep-fried. Resistant to white mold. A stunning ornamental and culinary plant that can grow up to an inch a day in peak summer. 50–75 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Grow Red Noodle Yard Long?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeep burgundy-red pods, 12–22 inches long\u003c\/strong\u003e — a jaw-dropping garden showstopper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGorgeous purple-blue flowers\u003c\/strong\u003e — ornamental and productive all season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeat-loving and vigorous\u003c\/strong\u003e — thrives in hot summers where other beans struggle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eString-free tender pods\u003c\/strong\u003e — excellent in any preparation; replaces string beans in any dish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhite mold resistant\u003c\/strong\u003e — reliable performer in humid conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNitrogen-fixing legume\u003c\/strong\u003e — enriches soil while it grows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpen-pollinated heirloom\u003c\/strong\u003e — save seed year after year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIn the Kitchen\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRed Noodle is the bean used in the classic Sichuan dish Dry-Fried Beans — cut into 2-inch sections, deep-fried until blistered, then tossed with garlic, ginger, and chili. Use in stir-fries, steamed as a side dish, added to soups, or pickled for a crunchy condiment. Prepare by cutting into 2-inch sections — the long pods make prep easy and fast. Lightly steam young leaves and stems and toss with olive oil for a nutritious side. \u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e The deep red color is lost when cooked — pods turn green.

Sow 1 inch deep directly into warm soil (above 60°F) after last frost. Space seeds 4–6 inches apart in rows 24–36 inches apart. Set up an 8–10 foot trellis or sturdy support at planting — these vines grow fast. Full sun, 6–8 hours minimum. Well-draining, fertile loamy soil (pH 6.0–6.8). Water 1 inch per week at the base; avoid overhead watering to reduce fungal disease. Mulch to retain moisture. Side-dress with compost or phosphorus-rich fertilizer at mid-growth to support flowering and pod development. Harvest when pods are 12– 22 inches, firm and glossy, before seeds bulge. Use scissors or a sharp knife — do not pull.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlso known as:\u003c\/strong\u003e Asparagus bean, Chinese long bean, snake bean, sitaw, sitao, kacang panjang, dau gok, sasage, yard-long bean, and many other regional names across Asia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDays to Maturity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50–75 days\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDays to Germination\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5–10 days at 70–90°F\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePod Length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12–22 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePod Color\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDeep burgundy-red (turns green when cooked)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGorgeous purple-blue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Height\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8–10 feet (requires trellis)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eString-Free\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisease Resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite mold resistant\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBean Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSnap\/Yard Long — string-free, fleshy edible pod\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Spacing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4–6 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRow Spacing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24–36 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWell-draining, fertile loam; pH 6.0–6.8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull sun (6–8 hours minimum)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Zones\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5–12 (heat-loving annual)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLatin Name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eVigna unguiculata\u003c\/em\u003e subsp. \u003cem\u003esesquipedalis\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeirloom, Open-Pollinated, Non-GMO, Annual\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePacked and shipped by Box Garden Seeds LLC — heirloom seeds grown without GMOs, selected for flavor, resilience, and your garden’s success.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Box Garden Seeds LLC","offers":[{"title":"25 Seeds","offer_id":43140086005894,"sku":"TLM\/H3-25-90-1021-2026","price":4.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 Seeds","offer_id":43140086038662,"sku":"TLM\/H3-50-90-1021-2024","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2669\/3330\/files\/il_fullxfull.7740209172_foux.jpg?v=1771968515","url":"https:\/\/bgseedsllc.com\/products\/red-noodle-yard-long-heirloom-pole-bean-seeds","provider":"Box Garden Seeds LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
