A brown-boiling variety (old-fashioned broad bean flavour and suitable for freezing) with long pods of 30 cm. They yield a good harvest of 5-7 beans per pod. White-black flowering and quite late ripening. This is one of the few remaining varieties with a black navel, formerly called "farmer's toes" because the shape of a toe (which is indeed recognizable in broad beans) was combined with a farmer's dirty nails (the black navel of the bean). But forget this story during your delicious meal!
