An excellent shelling bean, renowned for its taste and shelling ease. We list this variety as a bush bean, although it produces runners for many customers. A very hardy bush bean, 18″ tall, dependable and disease resistant. Preferred by many as a dry bean (90 days); however, we recommend it as a shelling bean. Freezing and canning qualities are superior.
Vegetable Description: The French Horticulture strain is a hybrid of white beans with red “cranberry” beans. They are also closely related to the type of bean known in Italy as “borlotti.” French, Italian, and American chefs all prize their own varieties of this bean for its creamy, nutty flavor when cooked. Some gardeners consider this bean, a half runner type, to be a pole bean. The beans also make excellent dry soup beans.

“Why should I eat cranberry beans?

The benefits of cranberry beans are numerous – each half-cup serving (cooked) provides close to 40% of your daily fiber, 10 grams of protein, as well as iron and calcium. Their protein and fiber content makes them a filling addition to any meal and a welcome complement to your healthy diet.How to prepare themPopular in Italian cooking (where they’re better known as “borlotti” beans), these beans have a mild, sweet and nutty flavor and satisfyingly creamy texture.

This makes them a perfect ingredient in salads, soups, stews, spreads (hummus, anyone?), dips and other dishes.

To prepare cooked cranberry beans, be sure to soak them overnight, then drain and rinse. Add 1 cup of cranberry beans to 4 cups of water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 1 hour before serving.”
