Description:
The vines reach 6 to 7 feet with rose-pink flowers. The Blue Shackamaxon shelly bean is a bright navy bean, the mature cut short is blue-black. When the pods dry they turn a purple blue color similar to that of Blue Capucijner peas. Amount the Lenape people's, the bean probably had a ceremonial purpose, since the color closely resembles the clamshell beads used by the Lenape for wampum. The dry bean can be used in any recipe calling for Mexican-style black beans.
