Rescued from oblivion! The beans grow in 12-14 cm long pods and can be shelled dry or fresh. Young beans can be eaten as green beans. Round white beans with a reddish-brown pattern around the navel in the shape of a monstrance with a host. 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 climb along poles or netting: 2-3 m high.
Dry beans are harvested in various ways. Some varieties can also be eaten with the whole pod, others can only be eaten fresh or (matured) dry. Tip for storing dry beans: to prevent any bean weevil eggs from hatching, place the well-dried beans in the freezer for 24 hours.
