Green Beans seeds for the kitchen garden that intends to actually produce green beans this year. Green beans are the vegetable that grows fast, produces generously, and asks for nothing except to be picked before they get tough. Green Beans is the reliable, prolific bean that is equally happy raw, blanched, or forgotten in the colander. Each packet is hermetically vacuum-sealed -- removing the oxygen that causes standard paper seed packets to lose germination viability within approximately one year. State law requires a 3-year viability label on sealed packaging. NASA research on hermetic seed storage indicates viability of up to 10 years under proper conditions. Every packet is non-GMO and germination-tested at independent third-party labs before it earns its Japanese woodblock print artwork.
