Dried Beans

So we let all the beans on the Italian Rose bean plants dry, to store as dried beans.  Once the pods changed from their bright red and green color to brown and crackly, we pulled them off.  We removed the beans by hand, and then put into an uncovered bowl to further dry.  In a week or so we'll seal them up in an airtight jar. 

 As you can see, the beans are white with red spots.  But a few beans were the inverse, being red with white spots.
