A dry bean that is said to taste much like mashed chestnut and always ranks high in taste tests. Was adopted onto the Ark of Slow Food. Fantastic. Gratefully received from the wonderful collection of Artur Kobylecki, Kielce, Poland. This variety also goes by the name 'Sacred Bean' or 'Monstrance' as some felt this was also displayed in further grow outs of the beans, a monstrance being the vessel in which the consecrated eucharistic host is carried in processions.","twitter:image":"https:\/\/heritagehobbyseed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cropped-Heritage-Hobby-Seed-Logo-2.png"},"aioseo_meta_data":{"post_id":"356","title":null,"description":"#post_excerpt This variety also goes by the name 'Sacred Bean' or 'Monstrance' as some felt this was also displayed in further grow outs of the beans, a monstrance being the vessel in which the consecrated eucharistic host is carried in processions.","keywords":[],"keyphrases":{"focus":{"keyphrase":"","score":0,"analysis":{"keyphraseInTitle":{"score":0,"maxScore":9,"error":1}}},"additional":[]},"primary_term":null,"canonical_url":null,"og_title":null,"og_description":null,"og_object_type":"default","og_image_type":"default","og_image_url":null,"og_image_width":null,"og_image_height":null,"og_image_custom_url":null,"og_image_custom_fields":null,"og_video":"","og_custom_url":null,"og_article_section":null,"og_article_tags":[],"twitter_use_og":false,"twitter_card":"default","twitter_image_type":"default","twitter_image_url":null,"twitter_image_custom_url":null,"twitter_image_custom_fields":null,"twitter_title":null,"twitter_description":null,"schema":{"blockGraphs":[],"customGraphs":[],"default":{"data":{"Article":[],"Course":[],"Dataset":[],"FAQPage":[],"Movie":[],"Person":[],"Product":[],"ProductReview":[],"Car":[],"Recipe":[],"Service":[],"SoftwareApplication":[],"WebPage":[]},"graphName":"ItemPage","isEnabled":true},"graphs":[]},"schema_type":"default","schema_type_options":null,"pillar_content":false,"robots_default":true,"robots_noindex":false,"robots_noarchive":false,"robots_nosnippet":false,"robots_nofollow":false,"robots_noimageindex":false,"robots_noodp":false,"robots_notranslate":false,"robots_max_snippet":"-1","robots_max_videopreview":"-1","robots_max_imagepreview":"large","priority":null,"frequency":"default","local_seo":null,"breadcrumb_settings":null,"limit_modified_date":false,"ai":null,"created":"2024-02-15 23:30:47","updated":"2026-02-06 20:30:58","seo_analyzer_scan_date":null},"aioseo_breadcrumb":"<div class=\"aioseo-breadcrumbs\"><span class=\"aioseo-breadcrumb\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/heritagehobbyseed.com\" title=\"Home\">Home<\/a>\n\t\t<\/span><span class=\"aioseo-breadcrumb-separator\">&raquo;<\/span><span class=\"aioseo-breadcrumb\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/heritagehobbyseed.com\/index.php\/shop\/\" title=\"Shop  *****CLOSED FOR THE SUMMER SEASON!\">Shop  *****CLOSED FOR THE SUMMER SEASON!<\/a>\n\t\t<\/span><span class=\"aioseo-breadcrumb-separator\">&raquo;<\/span><span class=\"aioseo-breadcrumb\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/heritagehobbyseed.com\/index.php\/product-category\/heirloom-bean-seeds\/\" title=\"Bean Seeds - Pole, Bush &amp;
