Black Coco Bean

A triple-treat bean that is a joy to grow because it is so easy. Coco can be harvested as a green bean although it gets tough if harvested when fully mature. Ten days later it’s a good shell bean, but really comes into its own as a refried or soup bean. Larger than other black beans—and early! Cooks quickly with a delicious aroma that promises a hearty robust soup. Black Coco’s 5 inch long, round pods are easy to pick from 22–24 inch tall plants. Black Coco soup has an unparalleled, robust flavor. It can be a complete meal in itself.
