Prized by many chefs, the Green Flageolet bean is sometimes called the "caviar" of beans. A small oval bean with a pleasing spring green hue and a delicate, rich, buttery flavour when cooked with a hint of grass. Its thin outer skin means no pre-soaking is required and it cooks tender in an hour with a smooth, creamy texture that’s low in starch. Flageolets are a common garnish for traditional French dishes including roast or braised lamb and can be found in French Cassoulet. Their tenderness makes them ideal for use in bean salads.

Cooking Instructions: Rinse beans. Put 1 cup of beans and 4 cups of water in a pot on medium heat and cover. Once water is boiling, reduce the heat to a medium low. Cook for 60-90 minutes or until tender. Add additional water if necessary to keep beans covered. Once cooked, drain the water. Optional: soak beans in water overnight.
