In 1978, the Rogers Brothers Seed Company introduced the American public to this type of bean, a disease resistant descendant of the flat Romano bean strain. However, the vegetable we now recognize as the common bean has its roots in South America; some historians fix the date as far back as 8,000 BC to the Pre-Incan civilization in Peru. When Columbus arrived in the New World, he found green beans growing with the maize of the Indians. Columbus and other European explorers introduced this new vegetable to their countries, where it eventually spread to the rest of Europe and all over the world.
