Rattlesnake Pole Bean is a vigorous, heirloom pole bean prized for its striking green pods streaked with purple and its long, reliable harvest. The beans are tender, flavorful, and excellent for fresh eating, snapping, or shelling when mature. Plants are strong climbers, producing abundantly over a long season when regularly picked. As a legume, this variety also improves garden soil by fixing nitrogen, making it a valuable addition to organic and regenerative gardens.

Medicinal properties:

Rattlesnake beans are not considered a medicinal plant. However, like other common beans, they are highly nutritious and valued for their protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, which support general health as part of a balanced diet.
