We recommend a 4-8 hour soak on the second day of sprouting as well, especially if you are interested in harvesting the sprouts after 3 days. The exterior red shell should begin to soften and split within 36 hours of pre-soak. After the 4-8 hour soak on day 2, sprouts should be rinsed 2-3 times per day. Do not allow water to sit in the sprouting container after rinsing. Seeds can be sprouted in a jar, tray, or bag. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike broccoli and fenugreek seeds, adzuki doesn’t develop any type of smell or odor during sprouting, but should still always be thoroughly rinsed. Adzuki doesn’t require much sunlight during sprouting because mature green shoots shouldn’t emerge until after the 3-4 day harvest window. Properly sprouted adzuki beans will have a soft and cracked exterior shell with only a hint of a sprouting tail. If sprouted for too long, the sprouts will be too starchy and bitter for eating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe recommend using filtered water for the best sprouting results.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBenefits of Organic Adzuki Bean Sprouts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdzuki is already a nutrient-dense bean essential to many diets but, when sprouted, increases nutrient content, especially in fiber, by as much as 300%.

These beans do not transplant well, so direct sowing is the best method. Plant the seeds 1 inch deep, ensuring the soil is loose and well-drained. Space the seeds 4 to 6 inches apart within rows, and keep rows at least 24 inches apart. Since these are vigorous climbing plants, install sturdy trellises, poles, or other support structures when planting. These supports should be at least 6 to 8 feet tall to accommodate the vines’ rapid vertical growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese beans thrive in full sun and prefer warm temperatures, making them ideal for summer planting. Ensure the soil remains moist but not soggy. Water deeply once or twice a week, providing about 1 inch of water per week, adjusting based on weather conditions. Avoid overhead watering to reduce the risk of fungal diseases. Consider planting companion plants like corn, cucumbers, and eggplants for optimal growth. These plants create a beneficial microclimate and can help deter pests. Avoid planting with onions or garlic, which can inhibit bean growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFertilize moderately with a balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) at planting time.

Beans are also susceptible to powdery mildew, bean blight, rust, and root rot. Maintain a regular watering schedule that avoids overly saturated soil.

These beans will not germinate if the soil is too cold! Space seeds about 6 inches apart within rows spaced 18-24 inches apart to allow proper airflow.

They prefer well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH, ideally amended with compost before planting. A balanced, all-purpose fertilizer can be applied once at planting, with additional nitrogen supplements only if growth appears stunted. Too much nitrogen can hinder pod production. Watering should be consistent but not excessive; 1-2 inches per week (inclusive of rainfall) is usually sufficient. Mulching around the base will help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Seeds should be sown directly into well-drained, fertile soil at a depth of one inch. They should be spaced about four inches apart along a trellis or eight to ten inches apart if using individual stakes. If opting for tripods, plant four to six seeds near each pole, thinning to the three strongest plants. Installing support structures at the time of planting is crucial to prevent damage to the young vines as they grow. These beans thrive in sunny locations with rich, well-amended soil. Compost or a balanced fertilizer should be incorporated into the soil prior to planting to provide essential nutrients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsistent watering is vital to ensure healthy growth. The soil should remain evenly moist but never waterlogged. Mulching around the base of the plants can help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Fertilizer applications should continue during the growing season, using compost or a balanced fertilizer as a side dressing to promote vigorous vines and pod production. Yard-long beans benefit from companion planting with crops like spinach or arugula, which can help improve overall garden productivity. These fast-growing beans require regular maintenance to guide their vines along supports and ensure proper spacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting Yu Long Noodle Kin Yard Long Beans\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvest when pods are smooth, tender, pencil-thin, and 12-30 inches long.

Keeping your bean plants clean from dust build-up and surrounded by a variety of plants to help deter and prevent pest damage. Beans are also susceptible to powdery mildew, bean blight, rust, and root rot. Maintain a regular watering schedule that avoids overly saturated soil. The roots need adequate time to air out between watering. This will also help prevent common fungal and bacterial diseases from developing.

Kurosanjaku Bean seeds are direct sown in soil of at least 60 F where there is no risk of frost. Grow in a warm, sunny spot. Sow indoors 2-3 weeks before outdoor planting for an earlier harvest. Be sure to harden off well if indoor sowing. Young seedlings do not tolerate shock. If you live in a warm climate plant seeds every 3-4 weeks for multiple harvests. Keep soil moist in the early days. Yard Long Beans are generally low maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the seeds have sprouted and the plants begin to establish, setting up a sturdy trellis or support system is essential. Kurosanjaku Yard Long Beans are vigorous climbers, reaching heights of 8-10 feet, so they will require a tall and robust structure. A vertical trellis helps keep the vines off the ground, improving air circulation and reducing the risk of fungal infections, especially in humid conditions. Keep the soil consistently moist, watering deeply at the base of the plant to encourage strong root growth. It’s best to water in the morning to allow any surface moisture to evaporate during the day, further reducing disease risks. While these beans don’t need much nitrogen (due to their nitrogen-fixing nature), a balanced fertilizer with added phosphorus and potassium can enhance their growth and yield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting Kurosanjaku Yard Long Beans\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvest when pods are smooth, tender and 14-18 inches long; usually in midsummer. Pods, seeds, stems, and leaves are all edible! It’s important to harvest them before they become tough or overly mature. Use scissors or a sharp knife to cut the pods from the vine to avoid damaging the plant, as rough pulling can disrupt the growth of additional pods. With regular harvesting, the plant will continue to produce, providing a consistent supply of fresh beans throughout the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Kurosanjaku Yard Long Bean Garden Seeds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYard Long Beans may replace string beans in most culinary scenarios.

Seeds should be sown once the soil temperature reaches at least 70 F, usually about two to three weeks after the last frost. Plant seeds 1 inch deep, placing each seed about 4-6 inches apart. For row planting, keep rows spaced 24 inches apart, allowing air circulation and sunlight access to each plant. This initial spacing is essential for healthy vine development, which is a characteristic growth habit of this pole bean variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the seeds have sprouted and the plants begin to establish, setting up a sturdy trellis or support system is essential. Dark Green Yard Long Beans are vigorous climbers, reaching heights of 8-10 feet, so they will require a tall and robust structure. A vertical trellis helps keep the vines off the ground, improving air circulation and reducing the risk of fungal infections, especially in humid conditions. Keep the soil consistently moist, watering deeply at the base of the plant to encourage strong root growth. It’s best to water in the morning to allow any surface moisture to evaporate during the day, further reducing disease risks. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting Dark Green Yard Long Beans\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvesting Dark Green Yard Long Beans typically begins around 70 days after planting. Beans should be picked when they are 12-18 inches long and still tender, which is when they offer the best flavor and texture. It’s important to harvest them before they become tough or overly mature. Use scissors or a sharp knife to cut the pods from the vine to avoid damaging the plant, as rough pulling can disrupt the growth of additional pods. With regular harvesting, the plant will continue to produce, providing a consistent supply of fresh beans throughout the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Dark Green Yard Long Bean Garden Seeds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey’re rich in dietary fiber, vitamins A and C, and minerals like iron and potassium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir nutty undertone pairs well with garlic, ginger, and spicy sauces, and they readily absorb seasonings, making them ideal for stir-fries, soups, and stews.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen fresh and young, they are tender and have a crisp bite, which softens slightly when cooked while retaining their unique texture.

To ensure healthy growth, sow seeds at a depth of 1 inch. Place each seed about 4-6 inches apart in rows with 24-inch spacing, allowing ample room for air circulation and the vines to spread as they grow. Proper spacing is essential to prevent overcrowding and to optimize each plant's exposure to sunlight and nutrients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a pole bean, the Akasanjaku variety requires a sturdy trellis or pole for support. Providing a climbing structure helps improve air circulation, makes harvesting easier, and prevents the vines from sprawling on the ground. Regular watering is crucial to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, with deep watering preferred to reach the plant's roots. During dry spells, maintaining this moisture level is especially important to support growth and prevent wilting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, which may lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of bean production. The Akasanjaku bean grows well alongside radishes, cucumbers, and corn, but avoid planting near onions or garlic, as alliums can inhibit bean growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting Akasanjaku Yard Long Beans\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAkasanjaku beans should be harvested when they reach about 12–18 inches in length and are tender but still firm to the touch. Using scissors or a knife to cut the beans from the vine is recommended to prevent damage to the plant. As a snap bean variety, the entire pod is harvested and eaten without shelling. This type of harvest makes the beans particularly versatile in cooking, as the whole bean is tender and flavorful when prepared fresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Akasanjaku Yard Long Bean Garden Seeds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey’re rich in dietary fiber, vitamins A and C, and minerals like iron and potassium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginating from Asia, this bean has been cultivated for centuries, especially in China, where it is a traditional food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Akasanjaku Yard Long Bean has a mild, slightly sweet flavor with a subtle nuttiness.

Direct sowing is recommended, as they do not appreciate being transplanted. Plant the seeds about 1-1.5 inches deep into well-draining, fertile soil. Space them approximately 36-48 inches apart, with 3-4 feet between rows. Since Shironata Mame plants are vigorous climbers, providing a sturdy trellis, fence, or support structure is essential.

Before planting, amend the bed with well-aged compost or a balanced organic fertilizer. As the season progresses, consider an occasional side-dressing of nitrogen-rich fertilizer during the early growth phase to encourage lush vine and foliage development, followed by a more balanced fertilizer once the vines flower and form pods. Water these beans consistently, aiming for about 1-1.5 inches per week, and use mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

For snap beans, pick the pods while they are still young, tender, and green. This is when they are pliable, without developed seeds bulging inside. At this early stage, the pods can be cut directly off the vine with garden shears or snapped gently by hand. If your goal is to harvest shelling beans, allow the pods to mature fully on the vine until they become large, plump, and start to dry. You’ll know the time is right when the pods have begun to lose their bright green hue and the seeds inside feel firm.

Mung beans thrive in warm temperatures, so planting too early can hinder their growth. The seeds should be planted about 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep in well-drained soil. Space the seeds 4-6 inches apart to give each plant room to grow and spread. Row spacing should be 18-24 inches to allow for adequate air circulation and ease of maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile mung beans are drought-tolerant, providing them with 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water per week during dry spells will encourage better yields. Avoid overhead watering to minimize the risk of fungal diseases; instead, water at the base of the plants. Fertilizing isn’t usually necessary if your soil is already rich in organic matter. However, if your soil is lacking, you can lightly fertilize with a balanced fertilizer a few weeks after germination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting Mappe Green Mung Bean Beans\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor fresh eating, you can harvest the pods when they are young and tender, around 2-3 inches long. At this stage, they are more like snap beans, where the whole pod is edible. Simply snip the pods off with scissors or pinch them off gently to avoid damaging the plant. For shelling, wait until the pods are fully mature and begin to dry on the plant. The pods will turn brown and slightly brittle when they’re ready. At this point, harvest the entire plant and hang it upside down in a cool, dry place to finish drying. Once the pods are completely dry, you can shell them by hand or gently threshing them to release the beans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Mappe Green Mung Bean Bean Garden Seeds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo sprout mung beans, rinse .25 cups of beans and soak them in water for 8-12 hours.

Beans are also susceptible to powdery mildew, bean blight, rust, and root rot. Maintain a regular watering schedule that avoids overly saturated soil. The roots need adequate time to air out between watering. This will also help prevent common fungal and bacterial diseases from developing.

Sow the seeds about 1 inch deep. Since these beans do not transplant well, direct sowing is recommended. Before planting, enrich the soil with organic matter, like compost. While Wase Adzuki beans do not require heavy fertilization, a balanced fertilizer applied at planting can help establish strong plants. Space seeds 4-6 inches apart within rows to give them adequate room to grow. Aim for a spacing of about 18-24 inches apart for the rows themselves. This spacing allows for good air circulation and easy access for maintenance and harvesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers as they promote leaf growth at the expense of bean production. Wase Adzuki beans need consistent moisture, especially during flowering and pod formation. Water the plants deeply and regularly, aiming for about 1 inch of water per week. However, avoid waterlogging, as these beans prefer soil that drains well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese beans require minimal maintenance beyond regular watering and occasional weeding. Mulching around the base of the plants can help retain soil moisture and reduce weed competition.

This initial soak helps to soften the seed coat and promotes faster germination. After soaking, drain the water and place the seeds between two damp paper towels. It's important to keep these towels consistently moist but not overly wet. Next, store the damp paper towels in a plastic bag or container and place them in a warm, dark environment for 2-3 days. During this period, check the seeds daily. Once you notice small roots emerging, the seeds are ready for planting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the seeds have sprouted, it's time to plant them directly into well-prepared soil. Since Doyou Adzuki beans don't transplant well, it's best to plant them in their final growing location. The ideal time for direct sowing is after the last frost, when soil temperatures have risen to at least 60 F. Plant the germinated seeds about 1 inch deep, spacing them 4-6 inches apart in rows 18-24 inches apart. Ensure they are positioned in an area that receives full sunlight throughout the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDoyou Adzuki beans require moderate watering, particularly during flowering and pod development. Ensure the soil remains consistently moist but not soggy. When it comes to fertilizing, apply a balanced fertilizer with a lower nitrogen content, such as a 10-20-20 mix, at the time of planting. Since adzuki beans are nitrogen-fixing plants, they don’t need heavy fertilization, making this initial feeding sufficient to give them a strong start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting Doyou Adzuki Beans\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDoyou Adzuki beans are most frequently harvested when fully mature as shelling beans, but they can also be prepared like green beans when the pods are young and tender.

Garbanzo beans thrive in full sunlight, so choose a location that receives at least 6-8 hours daily. Since they are bush-type plants, you won't need to worry about trellises or supports. Chickpeas should be direct sown in the garden after the last frost date when the soil has warmed to at least 60 F. Sow the seeds about 1-2 inches deep, ensuring good soil contact. If planting in rows, space the seeds approximately 6 inches apart, with rows 18-24 inches apart, to allow for ample air circulation and growth. If planting in a block or bed, maintain similar spacing. After sowing, gently water the area to moisten the soil without washing away the seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGarbanzo beans are relatively drought-tolerant once established, but consistent watering is crucial during the early growth and flowering stages. Water the plants deeply once a week, more frequently in dry or hot conditions. If the soil is particularly poor, a side dressing of compost or an organic fertilizer low in nitrogen but rich in phosphorus and potassium can be applied once the plants begin to flower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and maintain consistent soil temperature. Regular weeding is essential, especially during the early stages when the plants are small and can be easily outcompeted by weeds. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting Organic Garbanzo Beans\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe garbanzo beans are ready to harvest when the plants start to dry out and the pods turn brown and brittle. The beans inside should be hard and dry. This usually happens in late summer or early fall, depending on your growing season. To harvest, simply pull the entire plant out of the ground and hang it upside down in a dry, well-ventilated area to allow the pods to fully dry.

While they are self-pollinating, having a variety of pollinators and flowers around will improve yields by ensuring the greatest chances for pollinating events to occur.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSnap or Shell Bean:\u003c\/strong\u003e Snap - Snap beans have a fleshy edible pod. Snap beans are also commonly referred to as string beans or green beans (though not all snap beans are green). They are called snap beans because they make a snapping sound when you break them in half.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePole or Bush Bean:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pole - Pole beans are vining-type plants that put out runners that grow very long or tall. Pole beans are so-called because they require a trellis, support, or wait for it… a pole.

Look for signs of chewing, curling leaves, eggs on the undersides of leaves, and leaf discoloration. Keeping your bean plants clean from dust build-up and surrounded by a variety of plants to help deter and prevent pest damage. Beans are also susceptible to powdery mildew, bean blight, rust, and root rot. Maintain a regular watering schedule that avoids overly saturated soil. The roots need adequate time to air out between watering. This will also help prevent common fungal and bacterial diseases from developing. Good air circulation and applying water to the ground rather than the leaves will help maintain healthy bean plant growth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePurple French Filet Pole Bean Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Purple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePurple French Filet Pole Bean Flavor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tender and mild, with a slightly nutty taste when young.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGarden Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Greenhouse, Garden Plot, Raised Bed, Container\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBean Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e The young pods are perfect for stir-fries, salads, or steaming.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClimate Tolerance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!--endattr--\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Purple French Filet Pole Beans in the Vegetable Garden\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDirect sow the seeds once the soil has warmed to at least 60 F after the last frost. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep. Since this is a pole variety, space seeds are 4-6 inches apart in rows spaced 24-36 inches apart. The wider row spacing allows room for airflow and easy harvesting. To encourage vertical growth, place a trellis, pole, or similar support nearby, as the plants will climb as they grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout the growing process, the plants require regular watering, especially during dry periods. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Beans perform best with about 1 inch of water per week. Avoid overhead watering, as wet foliage can lead to fungal diseases. Mulching around the base of the plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeans are nitrogen fixers, so they don't need heavy fertilization. However, a balanced fertilizer can be applied at planting time to encourage early growth. Pinch back the vines if they grow too tall or unruly. Ensure they get plenty of sunlight, as pole beans thrive in full sun (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting Purple French Filet Pole Beans\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSnap beans are best harvested when young and tender.

At the end of the season, leave the bean plants' roots in the soil and till them into the garden bed. This will ensure that the nitrogen gets released from the roots into your soil, ready to be used by your garden plants the following season.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 20.7517%;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2016\/2681\/files\/Lara-Wadsworth.jpg?v=1656702669\" width=\"89\" height=\"89\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 75.2483%;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e- Lara Wadsworth, True Leaf Market Writer\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-video-row\" id=\"custom-videos\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-video-container\"\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AeSqa0w4VZo?si=xJmUHsZyq7ZDjapr\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-video-container\"\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8SKatHrTSOM?si=er9i1e6MCQjRFSI3\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOther Resources\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.trueleafmarket.com\/blogs\/articles\/examples-of-seed-variation-natural-vs-man-made-materials\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExamples Of Seed Variation - Natural Vs Man-Made Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePurple French Filet Pole Bean Seeds Per Package:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e15 g - Wholesale - Approximately 40 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 oz - Wholesale - Approximately 300 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 lb - Bulk Seeds - Approximately 1,300 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 lb - Bulk Seeds - Approximately 6,700 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25 lb - Bulk Seeds - Approximately 33,600 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNon-GMO Purple French Filet Pole Bean seeds are available for \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/trueleafmarket.com\/pages\/shipping-information\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFast Free Shipping\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e on qualifying orders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--split--\u003e","brand":"Mountain Valley Seed Company","offers":[{"title":"15g Packet","offer_id":42901600600179,"sku":"64322","price":4.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 Oz","offer_id":42901600632947,"sku":"80967","price":8.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1 Lb","offer_id":42901600665715,"sku":"80968","price":23.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 Lb","offer_id":42901600698483,"sku":"80969","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"25 Lb","offer_id":42901600731251,"sku":"80970","price":309.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2016\/2681\/files\/1739576550_bean_french_purple_filet_comp_1f83caac-145d-44c7-a6d7-7ac03ec32436.jpg?v=1762453152"},{"product_id":"yard-long-bean-seeds-black-organic","title":"Yard Long Bean Seeds - Black (Organic)","description":"\u003cp\u003e85 Days to maturity. \u003cem\u003eVigna unguiculata var. sesquipedalis\u003c\/em\u003e.
