Originating in Central America, the cradle of bean domestication for millennia, this mixed dwarf bean blend brings together three of the most popular vegetable varieties, carefully selected for their vigor, flavor, and beauty. This combination of shapes, colors, and textures offers a vibrant display from sowing to harvest, blending green, yellow, or purple pods with beans in a variety of hues.

In the garden, this mix proves to be a true ally for nourishment. Thanks to its compact habit and rapid growth, it integrates easily into small spaces, container gardening, or crop rotations. Each plant contributes to soil enrichment through nitrogen fixation, while respecting the principles of the Ecumene Approach. Robust, easy to maintain, and productive, it charms gardeners with its aesthetic appeal as much as its usefulness. This mix is an invitation to cultivate diversity to strengthen the resilience of organic vegetable gardens.

Growing climate: Temperate climate, with moderate heat.
Sowing difficulty level: Easy.
Care required: Occasional.

Note: Sensitive to excessive moisture, prefers well-drained soil.

The richness of this blend is also reflected on the plate: each variety offers a unique flavor, mild or more pronounced, but always pleasant. When young, the pods can be eaten whole, lightly sautéed, steamed, or blanched, ideal for warm salads or colorful dishes.

By letting them mature, you'll obtain dry beans perfect for soups, stews, or homemade preserves. This blend pays homage to the subsistence traditions of the Americas, where beans accompanied family meals as an essential source of plant-based protein. A flavorful and nourishing nod to the diverse gardens of yesterday and today.
