Hidatsa Red 1/2 climbing bean

Hidatsa Red is a very productive half climbing bean that can reach up to 4′ .  Usually producing 5-7 small seeds per pod, the Hidatsa bean makes for good salads and soups.  They are not as big as say the iroquois cornbread but they do pack a nice nutty punch.  The history behind the seed is that they come from the Dakota people near the Missouri river.  Le Noyau will make it a priority to communicate with the community and find out more about it’s history and the women who worked to save the seed for so many generations.
