I honestly have never heard of shuck beans in my life. What do they taste like?
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

Shucked a lot of black eyed peas when I was a kid. We always planted some for the deer. They love them.

Shuck beans are dried green beans, typically use white half runners or Pole and Fall type beans.. You snap them, but then string them up on a thread and hang them them to dry in a well ventilated area out of direct sunlight. Best to do this in the dog days of summer (mid-July thru August) Drying them this way will allow you to keep and store a large amount of beans in a very small space over winter.. This is how the old folks preserved beans prior to canning technology developing.. Was and is very popular in rural Appalachia and learned from the Native American type folks who lived there prior.
The beans have a very distinctive, almost nutty flavor after they've been dried and reconstituted with water.. Very unique and darn tasty with some ham hock added and corn bread and onion on the side.
I usually put up a half a bushel each year for nostalgia and special meals.

Mom has what we called corn beans.
Not sure the right name, but they were planted in the cornfield and grew up the stalks. They dried along with the corn and you picked them right before The corn. Then shelled them in the evenings. Hsuling corn and shelling dried beans. I can't imagine the soft hand, man bun, pussies doing that today. It was common for women to do it then.
Now Dad puts up reinforcing wire panels and they grow them on it. I need to get some and keep them going. No idea how "old" that seed is.
Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!
