A fast-growing variety of beans produces an abundance of long burgundy-coloured bean string-less pods containing red beans.

Pods can grow to 70-80 cm but are best picked around 30cm when the seed is smaller and more flavoursome.

A very productive bean that can be picked over a period of 4 weeks.

With a sweet flavour and a crunchy texture, snake beans can be eaten fresh as a whole pod or cooked, best harvested around 30cm when beans are still slim and before the beans begin to show although they can be left to grow and let the beans mature.
