Valena Family Italian Beans - Victory Heirloom SeedsValena Italian (Kanawake Mohawk)
75 to 90 days
— This bean is a family heirloom handed down to us from my wife's Grandfather who is first generation American.  Relatives in Italy are still growing this variety.  It appears to have a diverse history.

Along with our personal history, a friend in Canada contacted us with another story about this variety.  It was said to also be called 'Kanawake Mohawk' bean and supposed to have arrived in la Nouvelle-France with the Jesuits.

It is a dual-purpose variety that can be used young as a green bean or dried.  The beans are flat and green when young turning tan with maroon streaks as they mature.  The seeds are large, egg-shaped and tan with darker brown streaks. The image on the right shows the bean at various stages of development.  About 35 seeds per ounce.
