Dragon Tongue Beans

Post by TRx »

Picked the first little bunch of dragon tongue beans and ate them. They are very tasty. Raw they taste like sweet snap peas and cooked like a mix of snap peas and asparagus. They are a bush bean. I think maybe from Vietnam iirc.

I googled it to check about the origin... I guess it wasn't Vietnam... it appears they are Dutch. I was close... at least from the same planet :lol:

I'll be lucky to get any sugar snap peas with these rabbits. i love them little blasts of flavor. putting up some fencing today, they've got them nubbed down to ground level maybe they'll take off but then comes the summer mug in no time so wgaf :twisted: . beans outgrew them so i'm good on those at least.
