AnnualCalypso bush bean, also known as Orca or Yin Yang bean, is an eye-catching heirloom variety prized for its striking black and white pattern resembling an orca whale. This compact, bushy plant matures in about 70-90 days, producing abundant pods filled with small, round beans. Known for their creamy texture and mild, nutty flavor, Calypso beans are excellent for soups, stews, and salads.
I love to share the gift of seeds with my community so I seized the opportunity with the awesome MIG seed catalog. Very pleased
The kids get very excited picking the dry "Orca beans" and I enjoy cooking them. They are relatively large and keep their fun coloring when cooked. Taste great in soup. Good yields grown in zone 6b.
Have grown these several times and they are always successful, dry well and taste great. Sometimes they look like yin and yang, sometimes like orca whales (that's the kid and grandma in me)
Such a unique bean!
Love these Calypso beans. Did very well, even when my flock of geese and chickens decimated the flowers multiple times. The snap beans were tasty….and the ugly, brown, shriveled husk was magical to crack open and reveal the most beautiful beans. We mixed our dried seed pods together and opened them at once. It was a fun surprise to see what color bean was going to be inside. Fun for the kids and adults alike. Thanks for another great seed that our family will keep in our garden for generations!

The bulbs were large and healthy looking. Great price also. I can’t wait for planting time.
These are like XL cherry tomatoes (1.5-2 inches wide) that taste great and are uniform in size. I will be growing more of this variety next Spring.
Though they are not named Scotch Bonnet, they are definitely as hot and fragrant as a Scotch Bonnet pepper (and I'm happy I bought them to try). I bought more packets recently to be ready for next Spring and to share with my Jamaican family!
Highly recommended. Plants are super healthy and its my first gardening experience a succesful one. Thank you for this product. I love it so much i keep on growing more……!!!!
The seeds germinated very well. It was my first time ever growing radishes and I was pleased with how easy they were to grow.
