I have some wild thicket bean seeds and am happy to send you some if you would send me a sturdy, padded, SASE.  Would about 15 beans be ok?

Does anyone have a source for Phaseolus polystachios (thicket bean / wild kidney bean) that are not bitter?  2024 was my first year growing this plant, seeds from Prairie Moon, and they did really well.  Lots of flowers and lots of beans.  However, I cooked a few green pods and they were really bitter.  I may try cooking some of the dries beans I saved, changing water several times, and see if those are bitter as well.  Thanks.

Very happy to say my first planting of Phaseolus polystachios (thicket beans / wild kidney beans) grew really well this past year.  However, as others have mentioned, they are very bitter.  Does anyone have beans without the bitter taste?  I will keep growing them even if I do not eat them because they draw in bumble bees is massive amounts!  Thanks.
