The Golden Heritage Bean, also known as Golden Heirloom, is a treasured heritage variety from Quebec that is in danger of disappearing. With an elegant mustard color, this bean is said to have been grown for generations in the Portneuf region by the Cantin family, who harvested and dried it to eat it cooked. Once rehydrated, it is ready in just two hours, offering a rich and authentic flavor, a testament to the culinary traditions of yesteryear.

Some sources suggest that this bean may have been cultivated by First Nations, although this has not yet been confirmed. This heritage variety is attracting interest from gardeners concerned with preserving food biodiversity and incorporating unique flavors into their table.

The Golden Heritage bean is much more than a vegetable: it is a living heritage, carrying a regional history and ancestral know-how. Grow it to contribute to its preservation and savor a piece of Quebec heritage in your kitchen.

If harvested very young, this bean can be eaten fresh, but it is more commonly grown as a dry storage bean. As it is a semi-climbing variety, the wise gardener will provide vertical supports if necessary.

Number of days for harvest: Fresh bean: 50 | Dried bean: 90

Available at the ecoumene only
