Turkish Beans
Although common bean is native to Central and South America, since it was introduced to Turkey a few hundred years ago, it became a traditional part of the cuisine. Today there are many Turkish beans which originated in home gardens and regionally stewarded for generations.
Some of the most common ways of use of beans in Turkish cuisine can be listed as:
Stews
Olive-oil based recipes
Frying
Pickling
In our catalog you will find some of Turkey’s heirloom beans. We will also feature more modern beans which were bred in the 20th century for stringless pods, flavor and yield.
Greasy bean with wide pods and excellent flavor. Typically harvested when the pods begin to swell to be used in stews. Once a popular commercial seed in Northwest Turkey.
