Phaseolus smilacifolius Center(s) of Origin

There were originally two centers of origin established for the domestication of the common bean, identified through seed size and cross-incompatability.

Mesoamerican – Mexico and Central America - small seeds

Andean – Northwestern South America - large seeds Center(s) of Origin

Debouck et al., 1993 Economic Botany 47(4): 408-423

Isozyme and phaseolin seed protein analyses of wild northern Peruvian and Ecuadorian populations showed that they were intermediate between the Mesoamerican and Andean gene pools. Center of Origin

Bitocchi et al., 2012 PNAS Mesoamerican origin of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is revealed by sequence data.

Sequence analysis at 5 nuclear loci – The Ecuador/N. Peru populations and the Andean populations were formed in a bottleneck from separate migrations from the N. Mex mesoamerican population. Center of Origin Centers of Domestication

Confirms the mesoamerican origin of the common bean Green vs Dry Which came first?

It is likely that beans were first eaten as a vegetable, and next as “dry” bean; in other words, the young pod could have been consumed before the full mature grain. The reason behind this use might lay in the antinutritional factors which are often found in dry grain legumes (such as lectins, antitrypsin factor, HCN precursor, etc). These antinutritional factors start accumulating into the developing seed at levels with consequences for human health, in the second half of seed and pod development. Consuming young pods 1-2 week old would be less hazardous for human health, particularly in pre-ceramic context, although with lesser intake of carbohydrates and proteins. Along this scenario, humans were following birds that consume young pods or young developing seeds 1-2 week old; This has been seen with P. vulgaris in both Guatemala and Peru, and with P. xanthotrichus in Central America. Green vs Dry Which came first?

On the other hand, the nuña bean, or the Peruvian “popping” bean also predates pottery. This bean was grown to maturity and initially thrown on hot rocks to eat after “popping”. Ancient beans have been found in Peru at the Guitarrero Cave and may have been available 11,000 years ago (Kaplan and Kaplan, 1988).

Mechanical harvest of snap beans Sweere - One row bean harvester - Oxbo Pixall BH100 Hand Harvesting

Keep your hands clean. Remember that you are handling a food product. The law requires you to wash your hands after each visit to the rest station.

Pick all mature pods on the bush before moving on to the next bush.

Harvest only those pods that are ready. Leave immature pods for the next harvest.

Avoid overfilling your hands; do not squeeze or roll the pods.

Do not put trash or cull pods into the container.

Never allow harvested pods to remain in the sun.

Post-Harvest Handling http://www.bae.ncsu.edu/programs/extension/publicat/postharv/ag-413-8/

Begin harvesting when moisture has evaporated. Prevents the spread of postharvest diseases Protect from direct sunlight Cool within 1-2 hours Delay Time (hours) Weight Loss (%) 1 2.2 3 2.8 5 10.0

Post-Harvest Handling

Preferred cooling method: ...... Hydrocooling Alternative cooling method: ...... Forced-air cooling Optimum temperature: ...... 37 to 45 F Freezing temperature: ...... 31 F Optimum humidity: ...... 95% Storage life: ...... 5 to 10 days Grade Standards Most buyers will only accept US No. 1 or better!
