The quality of Yedisu Rooster Dried Bean stems from the soil structure and microclimate of its production area. The entire district is characterized by high elevations, and the registered production area encompasses Yedisu district and its affiliated villages. The region’s soils are rich in organic matter, and the significant temperature difference between day and night directly influences the bean’s maturation period and flavor profile. Planting is typically carried out in May, and harvesting is completed in September and October.
This product, classified among rooster-type dried beans, has elongated oval grains with slightly inward-curved tips. The seeds are bright white in color. Key distinguishing features include its thin skin, rapid cooking time, and durable structure that does not disintegrate during cooking. It is also noted for its high protein content and ease of digestion.
Production in the region, sustained through the preservation and use of local seeds known as “heirloom seeds,” has increased in recent years due to institutional support. Through seed distribution projects and grant assistance implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and Bingöl University, the cultivated area has expanded and harvest yields have risen. Alongside the revitalization of agricultural activities in the region, a movement of return to villages has been observed, and production has become a primary source of livelihood for the local population. The production process combines traditional and modern techniques, encompassing soil preparation, planting, irrigation, weed control, and threshing.
To enhance the product’s brand value and encourage local production, events such as the “Traditional Rooster Dried Bean and Honey Festival” are organized in the region. These initiatives play a strategic role in promoting the product and increasing its market share. Additionally, experimental plantings conducted at application sites within Bingöl University continue research on the scientific improvement and sustainability of the bean.
