Is it my imagination or is it difficult to find heirloom beans in the market? I've been trying to find Adzuki bean for the past two weeks in order to make a particular recipe. I figured my typical organic natural foods market would carry it since that's where we'd generally pick them up. They weren't there. I then went to a national natural food market and they didn't have any. So off to a couple of gourmet markets. They didn't have any. What a surprise! I guess once I finally find them I'll need to buy a few extra to plant so I can save my own seed.
We've started several beans in the garden but with the scarcity of quality heirloom beans I'm thinking of starting more to save.
Do you know of a source to purchase heirloom beans for bulk purchase for recipes?
