OTHER: ‘Red Noodle’ is a vining heirloom bean whose pods are actually 1 1/2 feet long, not a yard, but they can grow as much as 1" in a day! While Yard Long Beans have become a popular market variety in the US, the Red variety is not always easy to come by, so is a great selection to grow at home.
The stringless edible pods are crisp & tender, & are best steamed, sautéed, or fried, especially stir fries. The dark red pods will keep their color when cooked, & can add a lot of fun to your dishes. They are popular in Southern Asian & Chinese cuisine. The nutritious beans have a wonderful sweet nutty flavor, & can also be used dried.
This vine is actually considered a subtropical plant, so grows very well in hot & humid areas & isn’t afraid of the sun. They grow just fine in cooler Northern climates too, continuing to produce until frost. These vines send additional runners off the top & sides, adding to this prolific plant’s high yield. These open pollinated plants are disease resistant.
The Red Noodle is a nice addition to a garden just for its ornamental value alone. Its lovely purple flowers are fragrant, & attract not just bees & butterflies, but also HUMMINGBIRDS. The ornamental red pods grow in clusters of 4 beans & are very unique & showy.
