Jacob's Cattle Bean

Distinctive speckled heirloom that holds its shape when cooked.

Jacob's Cattle are probably the most famous heirloom bean that Rancho Gordo has ignored over the years. We like them, but others grow them so we never felt the need. Recently we’ve noticed they’re harder and harder to get, which is not right, so we now present you with our Jacob's Cattle crop.   

Especially popular in the Northeast, they are also known as Trout or Appaloosa bean.
