description

The organic 'Beurre de Rocquencourt' dwarf bean is an ancient French variety that elegantly combines productivity, earliness, and great taste. With its luminous golden-yellow pods, Phaseolus vulgaris var. nana brings a bright and warm touch to the vegetable garden, while offering an abundant harvest on compact and upright plants. Its tender, stringless texture and delicate flavor make it a highly prized vegetable in the kitchen, especially when picked young, while still thin and slightly tinged with green. This variety is also distinguished by its good adaptation to cooler and wetter conditions, which reassures gardeners and promotes regular production even when summer is less stable. Its compact shape is perfect for small gardens, intensive beds, and neat cultivation where every space counts. Harvested day after day, it makes you want to return to the vegetable patch with a basket in hand, as its colorful pods are so beautiful and abundant. It can be happily used steamed, sautéed, in soup, or in stew, and also keeps very well by freezing or dehydrating. It is a heritage dwarf bean, generous and flavorful, perfect for enriching the garden with color, reliability, and deliciousness.
