Phaseolus vulgaris 'Nassau BIO' – Productive bush/sword bean with flat pods

The Phaseolus vulgaris Nassau BIO is a mid-early bush bean or jack bean that excels in productivity, flavor, and reliability. This organic variety produces flat pods approximately 16 cm long and 1.7 cm wide, with a full, sweet flavor. Nassau BIO is suitable for gardeners looking for a stable variety that delivers high yields, even under less-than-ideal weather conditions. Thanks to its resistance to common bean diseases, this bean is an excellent choice for sustainable cultivation.

Flat pods with excellent taste

Nassau Organic flat pods are distinguished by their fine texture and flavor. Approximately 16 cm long and 1.7 cm wide, the pods are uniform and suitable for a variety of culinary uses. They are ideal for:

• Boil or steam briefly

• Stir-fries

• Salads and summer dishes

• Freeze for later use

The natural tenderness and full flavor make Nassau BIO a reliable choice for home cooks and vegetable gardeners who value quality and flavor.

Highly productive and stable

Nassau BIO is known for its exceptionally high yield. The variety forms a stable crop that remains productive throughout the growing season. Even in changeable weather, the plant remains healthy and produces an abundance of pods. This makes Nassau BIO particularly suitable for gardeners who want a consistent harvest from July to October.

In addition, Nassau BIO is naturally resistant to grease spot, burn spot, and bean mosaic virus, three diseases that can often cause problems in bean cultivation. This resistance contributes to healthy plants and a reliable harvest, without the need for intensive crop protection.

Sowing and cultivation

Nassau BIO seeds are sown directly outdoors from May to July, once the soil has warmed sufficiently. The plant grows both in rows and in clumps, depending on available space.

Recommended sowing distances:

• Row cropping: 8–10 cm between seeds, 40 cm between rows

• Clump sowing: 40 x 40 cm, 4–5 seeds per spot

Like other beans, fertilization is usually unnecessary because the plant can fix nitrogen from the air and store it in the soil. It is important to avoid waterlogging and wet tillage, as overly wet soil can cause root rot. Later topdressing promotes a strong root system and supports high yields.

Harvest period

The Nassau BIO harvest season runs from July to October. Regular picking encourages the plant to produce new pods, contributing to a long and abundant harvest. The uniform, flat pods remain tender for a long time, making them suitable for immediate consumption and canning.

Suitable for sustainable and organic cultivation

Thanks to its natural resistance and low fertilizer requirements, Nassau BIO is ideal for organic gardens and sustainable cultivation methods. The variety combines high yields, robust health, and excellent flavor, making it one of the most reliable organic bean varieties.
