French Bean Tendergreen – Dwarf Variety (Phaseolus vulgaris var. nanus)
Product Description
The French Bean Tendergreen is a classic dwarf variety renowned for its straight, fibre-free pods and exceptional flavour. Originating from South America and introduced to Europe in the sixteenth century by Spanish and Portuguese explorers, this variety has become a global favourite for both home and commercial growers.
Tendergreen beans are a medium-early variety, producing abundant, long, smooth green pods that are best picked young for peak flavour and tenderness. Perfect when cooked within an hour of harvesting, these beans retain their delicate texture and taste. When stored correctly in a polythene bag inside a refrigerator, the pods can stay fresh for up to a week.
