About Lina Sisco's Bird Egg
85 days. Off-white dry bean with maroon markings. Harvest the large plump seeds when they are dry within the pods. When cooked, beans are flavorful with a creamy potato-like texture. An heirloom bush bean donated to the Seed Savers Exchange by Lina Sisco, an original member, whose grandmother brought it from Georgia to Missouri by covered wagon in the 1880s. Slow Food U.S.A. includes this variety in their Ark of Taste, a living catalog of culturally significant foods.
