Pink Beans are roundish-oval, plump, dusty-pink beans.
The plant will grow up to 14 inches (36 cm) tall and produce pods 3 1/2 inches (9 cm) long; about 110 days from seed.
The beans are .4 inches (1 cm) long by 1/4 inch (1/2 cm) wide.
When cooked, the skins are tender, and turn reddish brown. Pink Beans have a smooth texture and are somewhat sweet tasting.
Pink Beans are good for chili, and refried beans and are popular in the Caribbean.
