A bean for dry use, with mysterious origins. Beans & Herbs UK offers this bean and it appears nowhere else that I can see. The word ‘tunny’ however has a long history, which is interesting. It’s an old English word for the Atlantic bluefin tuna. It’s a very old food and trade term, appearing frequently in medieval English texts, port records, and cookery books. Tunny is also a rare but historically documented surname in the UK. Regardless, Tunny is a very nice, heavily yielding dry bean. It has a very early maturity and dries down easily here in Sudbury.
