African-American heirloom in the Phil./Balt. region, from H. Pippin to my grandfather (pre-1947). Extensively raised by the African American community from DC-Philidelphia by 1900. As the unripe pods are white, and maintain this color upon drying, they were extensively used to spice cream sauces, particularly with shellfish. This variety is specifically mentioned in H. Franklyn Hall's 1901 book 300 Ways to Cook Shell Fish, Terrapin, Green Turtle.
