Here is an excerpt from my Pole Green Bean Recommendations thread:

A bean that deserves honorable mention is the Turkey Craw. This bean tastes very good. However you must pick them young or they get stringy and if there is one thing that I don't like in a green bean it's stringiness (is that a word?). If you don't pick them young then let them go a little bit and use them as a shelly bean. They are excellent as a shelly bean, one of the best if not the best.

So, yes it can be very good as a green bean, but I'm tellin' ya you gotta watch out or they'll get stringy. I don't like that.

I think if you do a google (bing or whatever) search you should be able to find them commercially.

Good luck.

Randy
