About Scarlet Runner Bean

Scarlet runner bean is the edible seed or pod of Phaseolus coccineus, a climbing bean. The seeds are often large and flattened, while the pods are green when immature; seed colour varies by variety. The beans have a firm texture and mild, bean-like flavour when cooked.

The mature dried seeds are commonly soaked and cooked, while young pods can be prepared as a green vegetable. The form matters: fresh pods, fresh shelled beans and dried seeds have different textures and cooking needs. Styrian Käferbohne is a regional type of scarlet runner bean.
