The Tiger's Eye Bean, also known as Pepa de Zapallo, is a visual feast for the eyes and a culinary delight for the tastebuds, originally hailing from Argentina and Chile. This heirloom bush bean, growing up to 2 feet tall, showcases stunning golden-orange beans adorned with maroon streaks, making them a true standout in the garden and on your plate. Not only are they beautiful, but Tiger's Eye beans also offer a rich, full-bodied flavor and creamy texture, making them a versatile ingredient for a variety of dishes, including soups, stews, chili, and refried beans.
GROWING INSTRUCTIONS:
Direct sow seeds outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed up. Plant seeds 1-2 inches deep and 3-4 inches apart in rows spaced about 2-3 feet apart. Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during germination and pod development. Tiger's Eye beans are relatively drought-tolerant once established and can be harvested as fresh shell beans in about 70 days or dry beans in 90 days.
