I like them for a basic southwestern bean pot, in place of pinto beans, which really pale in comparison, as far as I'm concerned. Only once have I stumbled on fresh ones, at a local farmers' market, but the fellow never returned.
I was wondering when I read your original post about rattlesnake beans if we were talking about the same variety. The one I raised is a dual purpose pole bean good for snap beans or shelling. Mottled green and sort of purplish pods. Sound familiar?
I usually.got seeds from Baker's creek/RareSeeds.com.
Looks like they might be the same.
