Tradition holds that the original beans were discovered in the crop of a wild turkey in the 1800s, giving rise to a variety that has been maintained through generations of family and community seed saving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eA true dual-purpose bean, the pods can be harvested young and tender for fresh eating or left to mature for shelling and dried beans. The mature seeds are beautifully mottled cream and brown and develop a rich, full flavour when cooked, making them excellent for soups, stews and traditional bean dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eAssociated particularly with the Appalachian regions of Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee, Turkey Craw has been recognised by the Slow Food Ark of Taste as a culturally significant regional variety.
