Bean: Mombo Green

Amazing Emerald-Toned Seeds! Five- to six-inch pods yield kidney shaped, bright emerald green dry beans and are delicious in soups or eaten as a green bean. Drought and heat tolerant, the bean originated in Kenya where its name, Mbombo, is an African tribal association to the Creator God of the same name. The bean is thought to be a sign of prosperity and brings good fertility to the soil, as well as to the people. Great for a trellis or small fence. All of our plants are grown right here on our farm in Hendricks county without any chemical intervention. Seeds saved from plants grown locally will grow and produce better then plants grown in foreign environments with different soil, weather and moisture then what we have here. All of the seed that we grow and sell are from non-hybrid heirloom varieties that are all non gmo and open pollinated. All of our seed saving work is done by hand without machines so you will get some plant material and chaff in with the seed. All seed packets have been made from recycled magazines. Approximately 25 seeds per packet.
