Cooking
Top and tail them and blanch in boiling salted water for a couple of minutes. They need to have a squeak when you bite into them. Try tossing them with shredded slow cooked tomatoes, diced olives and fresh basil.
Storage
Keeps for up to a week in the bottom of the fridge.
Varieties/season
The first flush comes from our farm in the Vendée in June then home grown in August and September. They like to grow in hot and humid climates so can be a challenge to grow in the UK. Up for that challenge are our growers Jono Smales in Hampshire, along with Anthony Coker and Jim Skevington from the SDOP.
These climbing beans are air freighted all year round from developing countries by supermarkets - a practice we believe is just madness.
Country of origin
Grown in the United Kingdom.
