Climbing French bean - Borlotti

Produces gorgeous bright pink-dappled pods with beans to be used either fresh or dried. Borlotti is one of the most beautiful climbing French bean varieties available. The pods have a stunning colour with dapples of bright pink and white. The bean itself is creamy white with maroon speckles. We love them for their excellent taste, colour and versatility. Either eat the young pods raw or cooked, or the beans when matured. Just shell and use like a dry bean.

They are one of the most popular heritage varieties in Italy and our favourite in the Vital Seeds 2019 bean trials. (Approximate seed count - 60)
