The Calypso Bean (Phaseolus Vulgaris) is a round, plump new comer. This
bean is a dramatic and beautiful hybrid of the Kidney Bean (Phaseolus
Vulgaris). About 3/8 inch long with a silky smooth texture. This bean is
somewhat sweet, firm and flavorful. Half black and half white with one
polka dot for emphasis, this novel bean looks as if the ancient Chinese
Yin Yang symbol of harmony was imprinted upon it. They are also
known as Orca or Dalmatian beans.
Calypso Beans are a delicious addition to pasta salads, soups casseroles
and stews. Cooked Calypsos combined with cooked rice make a wonderful
stuffing for vegetables. Blends well with fresh corn.
