I've grown some "trail of tears" beans (I suppose they're a french type but supposedly from the Cherokee indians) these are a VERY good cropper, I've eaten some of the young green pods whole (very nice) but now they're ripening they turn purple with black beans inside (looking like small kidney beans), if I pod these how long would I cook them for?
Also how do I preserve the podded beans? I presume you dry them but how?
Any recipes using said beans would be good ;)
