Dragon Tongue Beans grow in pale, stringless yellow pods that are mostly covered with purple streaks that disappear when cooked.
The pods grow up to 7 ½ to 10 inches (20 to 25 cm) long; 55 to 65 days from seed.
The whole pod can be eaten fresh when harvested young, or can be allowed to mature fully for harvest for dried beans.
When fully mature, the Dragon Tongue Bean pods will turn red.
This is a pick and come again plant.
