Bean Dwarf Tuscarora Bread

LIMIT ONE PACKET PER ORDER.

This is a dry or shellout bean that in Whanganui is dwarf, but in northern New Zealand it is a weak climber. The beans are a cooking bean which can be used in any bean dish like chili and for making bread. 

An heirloom variety that was originally passed on from a Tuscarora elder – the Tuscarora are one of the Six Nations of the Haudenosaunee (aka Iroquois). The beans are specifically used by the Tuscaroras for making a traditional corn bread with beans in it. This bread is made by boiling a mix of corn flour and beans. You can find many variations of the recipe by googling Cherokee Bean Bread Recipe. https://www.pbs.org/food/recipes/cherokee-bean-bread
