Bean that Isn’t Mean Found by New Hampshire Researcher
University of New Hampshire horticulture researcher Prof Radcliffe Pike reports a bean variety that is less gaseous and easier to digest. The beans, passed down from Passamaquoddy Indians and resembling Jacob's cattle beans, may be hard to can commercially but could suit baked beans residents. Sumner Pike, former AEC chairman, lives in Lubec and may send seeds while supplies last.
