Phaseolus lunatus

HEIRLOOM. If you haven’t experienced the culinary joy that is pot liquor yet, then you have yourself a weekend project! Referring to the liquid that is left over in the pot after cooking a big batch of greens and/or beans, it is an amazingly delicious broth. The story of these heirloom beans is that folks would throw a handful of them into the pot liquor left over from cooking greens, and have the yummiest batch of beans you’ve ever eaten. The Dark Pot Liquor Lima is lovely with colors ranging from dark red to maroon to black. Pole habit with very heavy production, with small, buttery seeds.  Lore hails this seed from Georgia.
