Vilmorin calls this the Haricot Nain de Hongrie, Hungarian Dwarf Rice Bean. While these two appear together in print, the Hungarian Rice Bean is likely more closely related to the Flageolet Vert, with whom it shares a slender, oblong seed shape and a proclivity to produce many pods. Due to the petite dimensions, rice beans cook up rather quickly, 25-30 mins, \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003ewithout\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e the need to soak beforehand.

Beans can produce their own usable nitrogen from atmospheric nitrogen through a symbiotic relationship with bacteria that colonize specialized nodules in their roots. Too much soil fertility can cause excessive vegetative growth at the expense of pod set and maturity.\u003cbr\u003eBeans prefer well-drained warm soil with a pH between 6.0-7.0.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eADDITIONAL NOTES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeans prefer warm soils and may rot at lower temperatures.
