Badda di Polizzi’s bean is cultivated in areas of Polizzi Generosa, in the Madonie Park. It is a medium bean, with unique coloring: it is two-tone and, from time to time, can be ivory with splashes of pink or orange and ivory with spots or dark purple, almost black. 

The planting begins the first week of June: as usual the beans are sowed on the day of St. Anthony of Padua, however at lower altitudes, sowing starts later than the middle of July, when the summer heat starts to diminish.

The plants are climbing around four rods arranged in the shape of a small hut: u' pagliaru. The collection of green pods starts after about 60 days, according to the dimensions it can get up to November. The collection of beans for drying, however, is from October and November, before the pods open and let the seed fall.

It is a savory bean, with herbaceous notes, slightly astringent, with hints of chestnut and almond on the finish.
