Red Swan Snap Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris)

A cross between purple snap and pinto varieties from legendary bean breeder, Robert Lobitz, resulted in this unique, newer heirloom. Red Swan yields stringless, crisp beans with a purply-red exterior and bright green interior. 4-5” beans are full of flavor steamed, braised, or raw. Tender and lovely in summer salads.
