Description
Priamus is a mainly white-flowered, but also red-flowered broad bean for use as a tasty vegetable. The variety is planted in October or November and also overwinters in northern latitudes due to its extreme frost hardiness. The variety sprouts very well and produces high yields. With a TKW of just under 1000g, the beans are rather small compared to other broad beans. The beans are light green, slightly yellow when dried. The variety is sturdy, medium to tall and early due to its winter cultivation. It copes well with dry springs. The taste is balanced.

Some of our beans have holes in them. Where do these holes come from and are they a problem?
We always freeze our harvested bean seeds for several weeks, after which the beetles and larvae have died.
The quality of the seedlings and plants is not affected by the drill holes!
