Description:
These are Criollo Beans, in all their peak-of-season glory. Early in their season, they are treated like a Snap Bean…eaten pod and all. During that time of year their big, meaty pods are not a sign of overly mature beans, but a varietal characteristic. In this state, Criollo beans have great, rich, green flavor and can be used in any recipe featuring Green Beans. Later in the season, as the pods mature, Criollo Beans are considered a shelling bean, like Cannellinis. These are truly a dual purpose bean, and their desirability as both a snap bean and a shelling bean lengthens their season.
