One of the oldest cultivated plants in the world, the Scarlet Runner Bean was originally from America but has been grown and marketed on the Hofveitl farm for more than 20 years.

The Styrian scarlet runner bean is an excellent source of protein and fiber.

Cooking Tip: before you cook the beans, allow them to soak for 12 to 24 hours in salt water. Use twice as much water as beans. Soak with a pinch of cumin before cooking.
