Bean Greasy Grits

Greasy Grits Pole Bean

Step back in time with Bean Greasy Grits, a cherished old Appalachian and mountain folk heirloom pole bean that is experiencing a resurgence in popularity. Once a common sight in the Midwest and South, this bean has been rediscovered and is now highly sought after by food enthusiasts, chefs, and gardeners seeking a taste of nostalgia.

The name “Greasy Grits” comes from the signature smooth, shiny sheen of its pods, but the true treasure lies within its superior nutty, mellow, and umami flavor. Many consider Greasy Grits the reigning “king of Appalachian heirloom beans” for its exceptional taste.

As a pole bean, Greasy Grits requires a sturdy trellis or poles for support as it climbs. Direct sow seeds after the last frost when the soil has warmed. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep and 4-6 inches apart at the base of your support. Pole beans thrive in full sun and prefer well-drained soil.

Water regularly, especially during flowering and pod development. This variety matures in approximately 90 days when grown for dried beans, offering a rewarding harvest of flavorful heirloom beans for your culinary adventures.
