Frijol Rojo de Seda (Red Silk Bean)
Phaseolus vulgaris. Frijol Rojo de Seda is a silky, smooth, sweet red bean just like the name says. It is super important in kitchens throughout Central America as it is sweet and considered one of the tastiest beans.
It is also called Salvadoran Red Bean, y cuando yo preguntè a mi amiga Salvadoreña Nadia, she said it's her favorite, and one of the only foods she cooks. Here is her recipe:
Cook the dry beans overnight in a crock pot with 'consume de pollo,' half a red onion, and half a head of garlic. Serve with 'Crema Salvadoreña.'
Grow this variety on tall trellises - it loves to climb. Many of the seeds available for this variety have been grown in El Salvador. This seed stock has been acclimated to Pennsylvania for the last couple decades, first by William Woys Weaver, and now by Owen for Truelove Seeds.
Days to maturity: 85
Seeds per pack: 40
