Product Details
Custard Bean is a refined, high-performing bush bean that produces vibrant, glossy, 5–6″ slender yellow pods that remain smooth, stringless, and crisp from end to end; its compact, upright habit makes it easy to pick, and its resistance to bacterial brown spot ensures a long, steady harvest window that keeps coming week after week; it matures in just 50–60 days, delivering dependable, high-yield crops even into the cooler parts of the growing season, and its bright buttery-yellow color and clean, delicate snap make it a standout in kitchen-prep, steamed sides, specialty market bundles, or gourmet plates — a bean built for both premium growers and discerning chefs who demand visual distinction, excellent texture, and consistent performance.
