Grison de Loire / de Saumur - Dwarf Common bean
This vigorous variety produces smooth, uniform pods up to 20 cm long. Green with dark purple to black mottling, they have a firm texture and excellent flavor.
Particularly cultivated in Anjou by market gardeners until the late 60's, it was abandoned because of the dark coloration given to the cooking water by these pods.
