The Appaloosa bean is a cultivar bean variety of the species Phaseolus vulgaris.
Seed and plant characteristics
The Appaloosa Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), plant grows up to 24 inches (610 mm) tall, with the beans about a 1⁄2 inch (13 mm) in length. The pods can be eaten as a fresh green bean.[3] Front portion of the bean is ivory colored; the other end is speckled with dark purple–brown. The bean is named after the Appaloosa horses of the Nez Perce people, which have a similar speckled black and white coloration.
The seed was cultivated near the Palouse River in Eastern Washington & Northern Idaho. It is a different cultivar from the New Mexican Appaloosa, though both share similar coloration and are both named after the horse.[4]
