Dry beans, Pole 'Friese Gele Woud Sietske' / String beans or
- Product number: 045162
- Origin: Central America
- Latin: Phaseolus vulgaris
From an old Frisian tradition! This cream-yellow dry bean was originally a dwarf bean, but at some point (we don't know when) climbing beans spontaneously appeared, and these were also cultivated further. This gives you more harvest per m², and because the wind can blow freely through the crop, pole beans are less likely to suffer from fungal diseases. The harvested beans have a soft skin and are ideal as soup beans, but are also often eaten with a piece of bacon. The soft, creamy bean flavour of the soup is traditionally combined with many types of herbs and broths.
Dry beans are harvested in different ways. Some varieties can also be eaten with the entire pod, while others can only be eaten fresh or (matured) dry. Tip for storing dry beans: to prevent any bean fly eggs from hatching, place the well-dried beans in the freezer for 24 hours.
