| Hi all,
Yep, seed time is here, and wondering if any of you are gourmet bean eaters who can your produce! I canned beans last year, and am generally happy with the results. Used a bit older beans and their texture is just fine. I'm detecting a slight bitterness, though, or maybe an off-flavor, and it made me wonder if it's the variety, or my water, or just the nature of canning under pressure. I thought it would be worthwhile to ask of you if there is a particular tried and true variety that you've found that performs well for canning, in terms of flavor. Thanks ! Seed time is coming and I'd like to be prepared ! |

| The pole variety "Emerite" is the best I've tried. Very firm, sweet, and completely stringless even when large. |

| I'll second Emerite, but will add these as further possibilities. Kentucky Wonder You didn't mention whether you prefer pole or bush beans. Contender DarJones |

| Greasy Beans are good too. |

| Thanks, all. I'm in Canada, and so don't have access to all the varieties you name, but I AM able to get Emerite, so I will try that one this year. Many thanks ! |
