Dried Beans, Bush 'Kievitsbonen' / 'Borlotto Nano' 100g
- Product number: 045100
- Origin: Central and South America
- Latin: Phaseolus vulgaris
The low plants (bush or dwarf beans) get green-flecked pods, which, after drying, are an ornament for the autumn table: bright pink-red with cream speckles. The dried beans themselves are cream with pink-red speckles; it is these speckles, similar to lapwing eggs, that have led to the Dutch name. The use and preparation are similar to the well-known kidney beans, but the taste is milder and more refined. The beans remain whole after cooking. Both their appearance and taste make these beans very popular worldwide, not least in Italy under the name Borlotto / Borlotti.
Dry beans are harvested in various ways. Some varieties can also be eaten with the whole pod, while others can only be eaten fresh or (matured) dry. Tip for storing dried beans: to prevent any bean fly eggs from hatching, place the well-dried beans in the freezer for 24 hours.
