Rescued from oblivion! The beans grow in 16 cm long pods and can be shelled dry or fresh. Young beans can be eaten as green beans. Round white beans with a BLACK drawing around the navel in the shape of a praising angel or a bird, and conversely, many see a little soldier in it! The texture is soft and the taste is reminiscent of sweet chestnut puree or a soft chickpea. Delicious as hummus but also in salads! The plants remain low: about 50 cm.

Dry beans are harvested in various ways. Some varieties are also edible with the entire pod, 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.
