Beans - Dry Beans - Jacob\'s Cattle - Org Hrlm

Jacob's Cattle is an Organic Heirloom Dry Bean, dating back to the 1700’s! It is a striking white bean speckled with red; the pattern resembles the hide of spotted Hereford cattle, and often covers up to 75% of the beans surface. Jacob's Cattle is very reliable as an early yielder. It has a rich meaty flavor that makes this a top choice for homemade baked beans. This bean cooks in about half the time of most dry beans, making it an excellent choice for winter soups. It is full-flavored, holds its shape under long cooking, and stands up well to plenty of seasoning. The bean has a rich aroma and is a little tannic on the tongue; tastes almost like a green bean with a slightly fruity after taste. Jacob's Cattle is very popular in New England and other areas with its short, cool growing season. . ... additional information
