Calypso Bean (Bush)
Calypso Bean — also known as Orca or Yin Yang bean for its striking black and white pattern — is a visually arresting heirloom with a creamy, mild flavor and smooth texture that makes it one of the most versatile dried beans in the kitchen. The bold, graphic coloring fades during cooking but the flavor remains exceptional in soups, stews, and bean salads where a medium-bodied white bean is called for. A productive, reliable bush plant that's as much a garden conversation piece as it is a crop.
