The best varieties of asparagus beans

The main feature of asparagus beans is the absence of a coarse parchment layer on the inside of the valves. This natural defense is formed in the beans as the seeds ripen and does not allow the use of the pods themselves, so beloved by gourmets around the world for their juiciness, delicate taste, beneficial properties and versatility of use.

Asparagus beans: two types under the same name

Vegetable bean dishes, first tasted by Europeans in the 18th century, were made from Phaseolus vulgaris beans brought from the American shores by the Spanish and Portuguese. Over the past centuries, many fruitful varieties of common beans have been bred, including those that do not form a parchment layer inside the shoulder blades. Such plants give elongated dietary beans of a cylindrical shape, which retain the juiciness of the valves for a very long time.

In addition, today gardeners and adherents of a healthy lifestyle are offered to try numerous and very interesting varieties of asparagus beans from the Asian region. These are cowpeas or cowpeas, several varieties of which are combined under the name Vigna unguiculata.

The peculiarity of this type of beans is long, round pods in cross-section. If the pods of asparagus beans of domestic, European or American selection do not exceed 40 cm in length, then cowpea beans, with proper care, can easily grow to a meter long. Because of their unusual appearance in China and in the West, beans are sometimes called snake beans.

The closest relatives of this kind of asparagus beans shown in the photo are moth beans from India, mung beans and a number of species common in Africa, the Asian region and the Middle East. At the same time, asparagus beans of both types are annual plants cultivated as bush or climbing forms and give not only juicy pods, but also edible, nutritious seeds of various sizes and colors.

Unlike American varieties of asparagus beans, which are necessarily subject to heat treatment, cowpea beans of milk-wax ripeness can be safely eaten raw. Small cowpea seeds are useful not only in traditional dishes, but also sprouted. The only drawback of this amazing asparagus bean is its thermophilic nature, so in central Russia, the plant can often be seen in greenhouses, where Asian beans bring a stable yield of pods and seeds for sowing.To speed up the production of cowpea beans, you can:

• choose bushy asparagus beans, which tend to ripen more quickly than climbing plants, but their beans are much shorter;
• give preference to Chinese or domestic varieties and hybrids, less whimsical than the Japanese varieties.

Recently, American selection of cowpea beans is gaining popularity. Asparagus varieties of common beans are not becoming less popular.

How to grow a good crop of beans

Growing beans outdoors is not new to gardeners, but green beans are commonly grown. In recent years, people have begun to actively use asparagus beans for the preparation of various dietary meals. From the outside, it may seem that it is no more difficult to grow it than ordinary green beans, but this is provided that you follow some recommendations. Moreover, having such a product at hand, and not buying it every time in the store, is a huge plus.

We grow green beans (asparagus) in our garden

Soil preparation

To harvest a rich crop of beans, you need to choose a suitable site and prepare it for planting. The main conditions are nutritious loose soil and the absence of strong winds. If you live in the northern regions of the country, it is advisable to use sandy soil for growing beans because of its characteristics - it warms up much faster. If you wish, you can prepare a special warm bed for the asparagus beans. The site must be changed annually in order to return to the previous place no earlier than three years after the last planting. Otherwise, the plant may undergo anthracnose.

Soil preparation

It is advisable to start preparing the site at the beginning of autumn, feeding the soil with mineral fertilizers. For each meter, add 30 g of superphosphate and 20 g of potassium. If we talk about predecessors, then the best are tomatoes, potatoes and cabbage.

Landing

Step 1. Use a hoe to make furrows, the depth of which should not be more than 10 cm.The distance between the furrows is 40-45 cm.

Finished planting furrows

Step 2. For the best effect, it is advisable to soak the beans in water in advance. After that, the beans will swell well, and then they can be sown into wet soil.

Swollen beans

Step 3. Start sowing the beans. The distance between the seeds should be about 10-15 cm. Repeat this with each bed.

Sowing asparagus beans

Step 4. Cover the bean seeds with earth and compact with your feet. It is not necessary to tamp the soil strongly, otherwise the beans may not germinate.

Crops must be covered with earth and compacted

Step 5. Carefully level the ground with a rake. Now it remains to wait for the first shoots of the plant.

At the end, the ground must be leveled with a rake.

Follow-up care

As noted earlier, asparagus beans are an unpretentious plant, moreover, they are drought-resistant. Despite these qualities, watering is still necessary. If the soil is not sufficiently moistened, the beans will grow slowly. It is recommended to do this in the evening, after sunset. Pour water to the very root, and after each watering, the soil should be loosened. Do this until the seedlings grow to 8-12 cm.

Growing beans outdoors

Important! To facilitate the care process, the plant can be mulched with straw. With the development of buds, it is necessary to feed the beans using mineral fertilizers. When growing climbing varieties, it is necessary to pinch to improve fruiting. Throughout the period, you need to regularly weed the beds and remove all weeds.

The best fertilizers for asparagus beans are phosphorus and potassium, they increase yields, disease resistance and the content of useful proteins in the pods

Storing beans

The procedure for collecting asparagus beans lasts throughout the growing season.

Harvesting asparagus beans

Freezing asparagus beans for the winter

Frozen asparagus beans

Video - Features of growing asparagus beans

The history of beans is almost 7 thousand years old. It belongs to the legume family, more than 250 species are currently known, but about 20 are most often used, which include the climbing one. The culture owes its rich history to an equally rich, very useful composition: a full set of vitamins, a huge range of micro and macroelements, fiber, carbohydrates, fats, pectin and a vegetable protein so necessary for a person, in terms of which it is second only to meat! What kind of beans we learn from the article.

Types of beans

There are many different types and varieties of this crop, but for any there are general rules for growing and care. Any type of beans is thermophilic, therefore, seeds should be planted in the first half of May, when the soil warms up to 12-14 degrees. For a faster germination, it is recommended to soak the seeds overnight in water, and just before sowing - for 5 minutes in a boric acid solution. This will strengthen seedlings, increase crop productivity.

Legumes have the ability to saturate the soil with nitrogen - nodule bacteria take it from the air, so the plant is a good precursor for many vegetable crops in the garden.

Types of beans

Growing bush beans

This species looks like small bushes up to 60cm high. It can grow in the shade of tall trees, between currant bushes, gooseberries, but you cannot shade too much - it will affect the yield. Planting depth - no more than 2 cm, otherwise the seeds will die even during the swelling in the soil. The plant loves soil fertilized with humus, reacts well to feeding with nutrients. It can be planted quite densely - rows at a distance of 30 cm, between seeds - 4-5 cm.

Bush beans require double hilling for greater stability. From the moment of emergence to the ripening of the tender green beans, it takes about 55 days. Pods, edible, very delicate in taste, fiberless, especially in sugar varieties.

String or green

Italians were the first to figure out how to use unripe pods from Europeans for food. Dishes made from green or yellow French beans have a surprisingly delicate taste, very low calorie content - only 25 kcal / 100g of product, rich in vitamins and microelements (more than in grains), although the protein content is inferior to dry grains. Green beans produce excellent yields... Its benefits for the body are also difficult to overestimate:

• helps to improve digestion;
• lowers blood sugar levels;
• a high level of sulfur content has a prophylactic effect in case of infectious intestinal diseases;
• fiber, protein, carbohydrates, trace elements have a beneficial effect on the state of the body, in particular, improve the structure of hair and skin.

Curly variety

Actually, all types of beans can be divided into bush and curly beans. The latter have especially many varieties.

• unpretentiousness and high growth rate, which makes it possible to bloom and bear fruit from mid-June until the onset of cold weather;
• variety of shapes and colors of inflorescences, pods, grains;
• soil enrichment with nitrogen.

Harvesting the pods regularly throughout the summer encourages the formation of new ovaries. With a small occupied space, the curly species of this culture gives an excellent harvest, if tied up in time, it performs a decorative function, so it can be planted near a fence, a gazebo, under a balcony. Growing conditions and useful properties are the same as in other types of culture.

Asparagus or vegetable

This is a relatively recently bred variety of beans for consumption exclusively in green (unripe) form. The pods are green or yellow (depending on the variety), thin, 12-15 cm long, very delicate taste, juicy, sugar flesh, without coarse fibers. The bushes are low - from 30 to 70 cm, compact, but, despite the size of the plant, they yield up to 1 kg of beans per season.

All varieties of beans are usually divided into sugar and semi-sugar. Sugar pods are intended for eating pods, which have a circular cross-section filled with a jelly-like substance. Semi-sugar pods are flatter, the jelly is much smaller than the former. Such varieties are universal: both pods and grain are suitable for consumption.

In order to have a good harvest all summer, you need to plant different varieties, taking into account their ripening dates - from early ripening varieties (65 days from germination to technical maturation) to late (100 days). Small bushes do not need props, resistant to cold, early ripening.

Black Eyed Peas

Purple

In addition to the usual green and yellow green beans, plants with dark purple pods have taken root well in the gardens: the Bluhilda variety (Germany), the Purple King (Austria), etc. At first, the ovary on vines is of the usual green color, but when the pods reach a length of 10 cm, the color immediately changes to purple.

If you compare these two varieties, Bluhilda's pods are more fleshy, but before ripening, the valves coarse, fibers appear. Beige grains, oily, very tender and tasty, boil quickly. The beans of the Purple King are flat, less fleshy, but without a parchment layer, they are not inferior to the first ones in taste. During the cooking process, they change color to green.

Shelling (grain)

Hulling varieties are grown exclusively for grains, although they often ripen quite late.

For example, in central Russia, the grains of such varieties do not ripen, and the pods, even in the early stages of ripening, have a dense fibrous structure that is not suitable for human consumption.

But, of course, if you grow them in a warm climatic zone, you can get an excellent harvest of very nutritious, rich in vitamins and minerals, with a high protein content.

The most common varieties: Ballada, Rubin, Zolotistaya, Varvara, Generous, etc. They are valued for their high yield and taste.

What color are beans?

White

The grains of such beans have a milky white color, a firm structure. The main advantage of white beans is their high protein content - 20%. In terms of benefits for the body, it is comparable only with beef protein, and, moreover, it is devoid of animal fat, which makes it difficult to assimilate such a vital substance for humans.

Black

The benefits of black grains are enhanced by the even greater concentration of all the ingredients that make up their composition.

The richer the color of the beans, the more nutrients it contains.

Black beans are the richest in chemical composition; in terms of nutritional and medicinal value, they rank first among the products of plant origin. Suffice it to say that black beans are the most useful food for the prevention of cancer and diabetes.
