Comtesse de Bouchard bush beans
Anyone growing this little rice bean be sure to save seed and share with others. I can't find them being sold commercially anywhere in the world other than Two Wings Farm here on Vancouver Island, even the place I bought mine from in france hasn't got them listed from what I can see.
I shared most of the seed I bought with others including another member of Seeds of Diversity so it's a start in bringing this little bean back from the brink. It looks like the ones I grow this year will be left for seed, hopefully I can spread a few more around.
I've only eaten them as a green bean, small but so tender and sweet. I don't have enough space to grow enough to use dry maybe someone else can and let us know how they taste, apparently you don't have to cook them very long.
Stepping down from my soapbox:)
