The Canadian wild goose bean, also known as the "Canada goose bean," is a distinctive heirloom variety known for its unique appearance and historical significance. This bean variety is named after the Canada goose due to the striking resemblance of its markings to the bird's iconic black and white plumage. The bean itself is typically mottled or speckled with dark and light patches, creating a visually appealing pattern that has made it a favorite among gardeners and bean enthusiasts.

These beans are not only prized for their aesthetic appeal but also for their versatility in the kitchen. Canadian wild goose beans can be used in a variety of dishes, from hearty soups and stews to fresh salads and side dishes. They are known for their rich, creamy texture and slightly nutty flavor, which makes them a delightful addition to many recipes. Additionally, like other beans, they are a good source of protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making them a nutritious choice for anyone!

How to Save Seeds

Beans seldom cross pollinate with one another since they are considered to be self pollinators. However that isn't to say it won't occur. So as a precaution it is recommended to grow to different colors of beans near one another if you are limited on space and then observe the seeds when ready. The seed will show signs of crossing if you grew to different colors. If you are concerned about crossing separate by 150ft as a rule. Harvest when completely dried; cure them for a week or so by allowing them to further dry out in their pods spread out from one another, then shell and discard trash.
