CAClark:

Very under construction. For progress updates, see the wiki blog [http://beancyclopedia.blogspot.com/ here on Blogspot].

The goal is to build a database of information and photos on all varieties of all the edible species of legume, which is going to take a while!

This is currently a one-person project while I get things set up and fleshed out enough to make a good start. If you'd like to contribute information or photos, or make suggestions or corrections, please drop me a line at beancyclopedia at gmail. com.

Happy beaning,

CA Clark

Blue Shackamaxon

2016-10-17T03:09:06Z

CAClark: /* Name and History */

{{beanbox
|Uses= dry or shell
|Growth Habit= pole
|Maturity= midseason
|Flower Color= pink-purple
|Seed Color= blue-black to black
|Seed Pattern= solid
|Pod Color= green maturing to purple
}}

__NOTOC__
== Name and History ==
Originally from the Lenape Indians who used to live along the Delaware River, and subsequently grown in Pennsylvania for local consumption for many years. "Blue" simply refers to the color of the seeds, and "Shackamaxon" was the name of a former Lenape town in what is now the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia. The alternate name "Treaty Bean" comes from Shackamaxon reportedly being the site of a 1682 treaty signing between the Lenape and William Penn.

First offered in the Seed Savers Exchange in 2003 by William Woys Weaver.

== Description ==
{{Description
|Growth=Plants vigorous and good climbers, reaching to about 6 feet (2 meters) tall. If not given anything to climb, plants will spiral around each other and make short self-supporting teepees. Slight bit of purple/red color in the stems. Very productive. Reported to be tolerant of drought and cool spring weather. Does well in both warmer and cooler climates in the US.
|Flowers=Bright pink-purple.
|Pods=3-6 seeds per pod. Green maturing to red and then purple; dry pods completely purple.
|Seeds=Steel blue when fresh, drying to solid, shiny black.
}}

== Uses ==
Dry or shell. Thoroughly delicious. Dry beans good by themselves or in any Mexican recipe calling for black beans. Shelly beans can be cooked with blue corn to make a very blue succotash; and reportedly were traditionally cooked with blue corn meal to make a polenta-like dish unappealingly called "black mush."

CAClark:

Varieties with a particularly strong association with one or more of the original peoples of North America. Each variety in this category is also tagged with its more specific tribal or national affiliation.

I'm using the term "American Indian" instead of "Native American" because, as of a 1995 survey of indigenous Americans, that term was preferred by 49% of respondents, versus 35% for "Native American." From my explorations of official tribal websites that seems to still be the case, but if that or any related terminology is out of date please let me know and I will make changes right away.

__NOTOC__
== Name and History ==
A straightforward name describing the bean's seed pattern and leaf type. First offered in the Seed Savers Exchange in 1985 by Jack Rice of Scotland County, North Carolina. Narrowly saved from extinction by George McLaughlin of Oklahoma through a remarkable series of events-- in 1999 Mr. McLaughlin retrieved 6 seeds from a decorative lamp base and despite the seed being over 10 years old was able to germinate and grow a couple of them, only for a neighborhood kid to rip up the plants and run off with them. Following the kid's footprints led him to a discarded section of vine with a few green pods on it. From those few he managed to save 10 seeds, and over the next few years multiplied those into enough to share with many other people.

== Name and History ==
From the Bethel area of Haywood County, North Carolina. Like other "pink tip" beans, the pointed tip turns pink right when the pods are mature for eating as a (full) snap bean. Said to be the only variety that's both a pink tip and a greasy.

== Description ==
{{Description
|Growth=Productive climbing plants.
|Flowers=White at first, aging to cream, and then yellow.
|Pods=4-6 inches long and stringed. Pods start out solid green and as they mature turn yellow with pink tips, a pink ring around the attachment to the stem, and a pink blush along the inside seam. Some of mine got an all-over purple blush instead of localized pink. 6 seeds per pod.
|Seeds=Small and solid white.

Glossary

2016-07-25T17:23:33Z

CAClark:

*'''Banner'''-- The topmost petal on a legume flower. Also called "standard."

*'''Bush'''-- Short plants that don't require any support. May have short tendrils.

*'''Cornfield'''-- In its strictest sense refers to beans that are suitable for growing interplanted with corn, but sometimes just used as another term for a pole/climbing plant. Usually only used for old-fashioned Common Beans (Phaeolus vulgaris).

*'''Cranberry Bean'''--

*'''Cut-short, or Cutshort'''-- Common Bean varieties where the seeds grow all crowded and pressed up against each other inside their pods. Their ends flatten where they press against each other, giving them a square-ish appearance like their ends have been cut off.

*'''Dry Bean'''-- Also called a soup bean. Beans that are used when they're fully mature; hard and dry and capable of being stored for a long time. Technically you could use any bean as a dry bean, though some snap bean varieties would have a frustratingly slow, small harvest.

*'''Full Beans'''-- Snap beans that have been allowed to get "lumpy" with the developing seeds inside. Most old-timey Appalachian-style beans are tender-hulled and are meant to be eaten this way. For a more detailed description please check out [http://www.heirlooms.org/bean-terminology.html Sustainable Mountain Agriculture Center's glossary].

*'''Greasy Beans'''-- Beans that lack the usual short fuzzy hairs on their pods, giving them a shiny appearance like they're slick with grease. Nothing to do with the taste or texture! These are all old-fashioned varieties particularly associated with the Appalachias.

*'''Half-runner'''-- A climbing/pole plant that's on the "short" side. Kind of a nonspecific term (unless you start fooling around with calling things quarter-runners and eighth-runners) that can indicate a plant that grows to anywhere between 4-10 feet. This is in contrast to "full-size" runners which grow pretty much to infinity. This term is purely about growth habit and doesn't reflect any hybridization with Runner Beans (Phaseolus coccineus).

*'''Hilum'''-- The "belly button" of a seed. The scar where it was attached to its pod as it developed. Also called the "eye."

*'''Hull'''--

*'''Horticultural'''-- New England term for a bean eaten in both the shelly and dry stages

*'''Keel'''-- The innermost petals of a legume flower. They are fused together at the tip and enclose the reproductive structures of the flower.

*'''Legume'''-- Any plant in the botanical family Fabaceae (formerly called Leguminosae). Includes all the human-edible things in this wiki and many other things besides, such as acacia, alfalfa, broom, clover, coral trees, gorse, indigo, kudzu, locust trees, lupins, mimosa, vetch, wattle, wisteria, and thousands of others.

*'''Lima Bean'''-- A member of the species Phaseolus lunatus. In some regions of the US, "Lima bean" refers only to the large-seeded varieties in the species, and "butterbean" to the smaller-seeded.

*'''October Beans'''--

*'''Outcross'''--

*'''Pod'''--

*'''Pole'''-- A climbing plant that needs something to grow up (perhaps a pole!).

*'''Reverse'''--

*'''Runner'''-- Can be either yet another term for a climbing/pole plant, or can refer to the species Phaseolus coccineus (Runner Beans, or in the US sometimes called Scarlet Runner Beans). I think this is needlessly confusing so in this wiki it will only be used to refer to the species.

*'''Shatter, Shattering'''-- Sometimes the completely-dry pods of some varieties will split open while still on the plant, dropping (or explosively flinging!) dry seeds everywhere. This is called "shattering" and is a "wild" trait that would've been very useful for seed dispersal in the days before domestication, but in the home garden is a bit of an annoyance.

*'''Shell Beans'''-- Also called shellies, shelly beans, or shelling beans, these are simply beans whose seeds are eaten before they're fully mature/dry. In the US we commonly eat peas and Lima beans in the shell stage (tender and a bit green). Shell beans cook more quickly than their dry counterparts.

*'''Snap Beans'''-- Also called green beans, string beans, filet beans, French beans, etc. Varieties with tender hulls that are meant to be eaten when young. Not all beans are string beans anymore, but the name persists as a general term anyway.

*'''SSE'''-- [http://www.seedsavers.org/ Seed Savers Exchange].

*'''Standard'''-- The topmost petal on a legume flower. Also called "banner."

*'''Stick Beans'''-- Pole beans (except perhaps growing up a stick instead of a pole).

*'''Twiner'''-- Another term for a half-runner, or for a plant that mostly has a bush growth habit but sends out a few short climbing tendrils.

*'''USDA'''-- United States Department of Agriculture, the organization in charge of the National Genetic Resources Program, which in turn is in charge of the US's national germplasm/seed bank.

*'''Wing'''-- The paired side petals on a legume flower. They're underneath the banner/standard petal, and on the outside of the keel petal.

== Uses and Opinions ==
Generally touted as a snow pea, but I think that's nuts. Despite the name the pods are not sweet at all, and have a pretty unpleasant flavor to boot. However, many seed companies and individuals seem to love them, so they probably just need to be picked when very young. The pea seeds are quite starchy and not also not sweet at all, even when small.

__NOTOC__
== Name and History ==
Bred by Dr. Alan Kapuler of Oregon and, in his own words, "named in commemoration of the struggle for the old growth forests." Opal Creek is a creek and Wilderness Area in Willamette National Forest in Oregon, and is that state's largest unlogged watershed. Dr. Kapuler started with a cross between [[Golden Sweet]] and [[Sugar Snap]], and after a lot of further crossing and selection of the following generations, succeeded in creating the first yellow-podded sugar snap pea.

This pea appears in:

[http://www.angelfire.com/az/garethknight/dots/opalcreek.html Heritage Vegetable Review at Daughter of the Soil]

Page 130 of Breed Your Own Vegetable Varieties by Carol Deppe, published 2000 (appears under its "rough draft" name Golden Snap).

}}

__NOTOC__
== Name and History ==
The name is Dutch; "blauw" means "blue," and "schokker" is something from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schokland Schokland] in the Netherland (could also refer to [http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schokker_(schip) a type of ship] or to the dialect of Schokland, but those seem less likely). Also called Capucijners (after the Capuchin Monks), Purple-podded Peas, or Blue-podded Peas. Grown all over Europe since the Middle Ages.

== Description ==
{{Description
|Growth=
|Flowers=
|Pods= Purple.
|Seeds= Freshly-dried seeds are a light brownish green. In storage they lose all trace of green and turn dark brown.
}}

== Uses ==
Primarily grown for the dry seed, though the plants are also quite ornamental, with large bicolor purple flowers and purple pea pods. The very young pods can supposedly be eaten as snow peas though they tend to be fibrous. The fresh seeds are quite starchy even when very young and are generally not liked.
