Jacobs Cattle/Trout Bean 1.75lb

$8.19 Product Info: Jacobs Cattle Beans (Phaseolus Vulgaris) are a heirloom bean related to the Kidney Bean. A heirloom bean means the bean was handed down within a small community for several generations. The bean is about 5/8 long, with a plump kidney shape. Jacobs Cattle have molted purple and white color markings, like Guernsey cows. Jacobs Cattle Beans are named as such because of their resemblance to Jacob's sheep. This bean may also be referred to as a Trout Bean. After cooking, the patterns fade but are still distinct. Jacobs Cattle has an earthy flavor with a slight sweetness and mealy texture. Jacobs Cattle can be substituted for any bean in the haricot family. Suggested Use: A flavorful dish or salad is made by simply tossing the cooked beans with olive oil, balsamic vinegar and fresh herbs. Delicious served in stews, casseroles and soups.
