Red Noodle Snake Bean is an uncommon climbing bean species that can grow up to 2m tall. It can produce deep red, 70-cm-long pods and is a fast grower with a long harvesting period. Additionally, this bean maintains its colour when cooked, making it a great addition to fresh salads or when combined with other vegetables.

Climbing beans require a supporting structure to grow properly and climb on. This structure can be made from various materials, including tomato stakes, bamboo or sturdy sticks - anything that can support the plant’s growth. It is essential to ensure that the soil is rich in organic matter but not too high in nitrogen, since it is a legume. Sow the seeds below the climbing structure so the plant tendrils can latch on easily. During the germination stage, avoid over-watering to prevent seed rot. Mulching around the plant once germinated is recommended. The growing season might require supporting the plant by latching onto the structure. Harvest the beans and eat them whole, either fresh or cooked. These beans are best eaten when young and stringless, typically 40-50cm long.

Sow in spring (after the frost) and early summer at a depth of 20-40mm, 15cm apart. Soak seeds for a few hours. Germination in 5-10 days at 18-28°C.Maturity in 80 days.
