Vigna unguiculata subsp. sesquipedalis (Yard Long Bean, Red Noodle Bean) Seeds
Vigna unguiculata subsp. sesquipedalis, commonly known as Yard Long Bean or Red Noodle Bean, is a stunning and productive variety of climbing beans. Its vibrant red pods can grow up to 50–60 cm in length, offering a striking visual appeal and a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Perfect for stir-fries, salads, and curries, these beans are a favorite in home gardens and commercial farms for their high yield and ornamental beauty.
Characteristics:
• Plant Description: Red Noodle Beans are vigorous climbers, reaching up to 2–3 meters in height when supported by trellises or stakes. The plants feature lush green foliage and purple flowers that develop into long, slender, deep red pods.
• Pods: The pods are tender, stringless, and slightly sweet, retaining their vibrant red color when raw and turning darker or green when cooked.
• Climate Adaptability: Thrives in tropical and subtropical climates, tolerating heat and humidity well.
Uses and Benefits:
• Culinary Applications:
• Fresh Use: Perfect for stir-fries, curries, and soups. The pods are tender and slightly crunchy when young.
• Salads and Garnishes: Raw or lightly blanched, they add a pop of color and unique texture to dishes.
• Flavor Profile: Mild and slightly sweet with a delicate crunch, complementing a variety of cuisines.
• Nutritional Value: High in dietary fiber, protein, vitamins A and C, and essential minerals like potassium and magnesium. Supports heart health, digestion, and overall energy.
• Ornamental Value: The vibrant red pods and flowers make this bean variety as decorative as it is functional.
Cultivation:
• Soil Preparation:
• Prefers fertile, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0–7.5.
• Add organic compost or manure to enrich the soil before planting.
• Sowing:
• Sow seeds 2–3 cm deep, spacing them 30–50 cm apart in rows, with adequate support for climbing.
• Plant during spring or summer when the soil is warm, as these beans thrive in temperatures between 20–35°C.
• Germination: Seeds germinate within 5–7 days under optimal conditions.
• Growth Conditions:
• Requires full sun and consistent watering. Avoid waterlogging to prevent root diseases.
• Provide a trellis, fence, or poles for the vines to climb, as this encourages better pod formation and ease of harvesting.
• Harvesting:
• Pods are ready for harvest within 60–70 days. Pick them when they are 30–50 cm long and still tender to ensure the best flavor and texture.
Unique Features:
• Striking Appearance: Deep red pods add visual appeal to dishes and gardens.
• Heat Tolerance: Thrives in hot and humid climates, making it a reliable crop in tropical regions.
