Bean Seed - Borlotto Bean 'Lingua di Fuoco'Phaseolus vulgaris 'Lingua di Fuoco'This is a duel purpose bean that produces spectacular pods splashed with red stripes - Lingua di Fuoco literally translates as Tongue of Fire. These are in effect a Climbing French Bean and can be eaten young in the pod either raw or cooked (they look stunning chopped into salads), or they can be shelled and used like a flageolet bean, or shelled and dried. The handsome red speckling disappears when they are cooked. Borlotto beans are basically the Italian version of kidney beans, hailing originally from the New World; Italians traditionally use them in soups and stews. Supplied as a packet of approximately 30 seeds.
