Fagiolo Dente di Morto di Acerra

A white bean of the Acerra plain, named dente di morto for the shape of the seed. The farming there has always run on the Regi Lagni canals that cross and bound the territory, drawing on the Clanio, the river that watered the Campanian plain from before Roman times.
