Native to Mexico, this climbing bean produces large, hearty beans perfect for stews, soups, and salads. The plants are vigorous climbers, reaching up to 12 feet, and thrive in well-drained soil with full sun exposure. Maturing in about 90-100 days, Ayocote Morado beans are celebrated for their high protein content and rich, meaty texture.
