Description

The history of the Blue Lake bean is one of many unsolved garden mysteries; however, we do know that it’s been a garden favorite in the United States since at least the 1920s. Some historians have suggested that its popularity dates back almost 100 years further to the 1820s, although it was likely known under a different name that has since been forgotten. Pole beans are a popular summer vegetable all across the country and not without good reason! Fresh, crisp beans are stringless, tender, and dark green … and very tasty.

This veggie is a great, low fat source of nutrients that is high in vitamins A, C, and K. Pole beans are also a good source of fiber and contain trace amounts of many minerals, including manganese, magnesium, calcium, and iron. They’re also a good source of antioxidants.
