National Bean Day
January 6, 2024
The day commemorates the death of the geneticist Gregor Mendel, whose experiments with breeding pea plants formed the basis of modern genetics. From what we could find, it would appear that Paula Bowen is the creator of National Bean Day.
National Bean Day is celebrated annually on January 6th. It’s an unofficial holiday that honors the bean, a versatile food that’s been around since ancient times.
