They look just like my red epicure, and if they are, they are very pretty and delish!

Are these sown in Spring Tim and are they Red Epicure? If so do they stay pink when cooked or do they go green?

If you steam them when young you can keep the pink... but mostly when boiled they go green... very tasty though! :)
