Not everyone agrees on the origin of this bean's name, attributing it sometimes to the rattling sound of its seeds in dried pods or to the purple markings on the pods that resemble rattlesnake skin. However, there is unanimous agreement on the good sage and nutty taste with fruity undertones of its smooth, curved, semi-oval beans. Stringless beans are also highly prized when picked young and eaten with the pod. The variable shape of the pods can range from slightly to extremely curved, and their length can reach 20 cm. The beans contained within the pods are initially ivory white before becoming speckled with beige and brown. Rattlesnake is a very old variety traditionally cultivated by the Hopi Indians of North America. The vines of this very productive selection grow vigorously, sometimes reaching 3 m in length.
