Turkey Craw BEAN, SNAP (POLE) 14 g

[Heirloom from Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee.] According to folklore, this variety was cultivated after a hunter shot a turkey and removed a bean from the craw. The bean was later planted and saved, hence the derivation of the name 'Turkey Craw'. Often used as a cornfield bean. Good canned. Similar to other beans for freezing and drying quality ("leather britches on a shuck"). Pods grow 3-1/2 to 4" long and cling to the vines. Seeds are buff, frosted with brown on one end. Pkt (14 g, 52 seeds)
