Surprisingly fun
Runner beans get their name because they’re often cut into small pieces. You can cook them in lots of ways to keep their mild, fresh flavour. They fit perfectly into any dish as a healthy green veg.
To make it easy to remove the string from runner beans, cut off the top tip of the bean. This way, the pod’s seam will pull the string away with it.
Runner beans are delicious in a fresh salad with tomato, pepper and cucumber.
BelOrta runner beans are grown both outdoors and in greenhouses. In the open field they develop in fresh air, while in a greenhouse they’re protected under glass. This influences their growth and quality. Greenhouse cultivation provides a consistent temperature and shields the beans from the weather, whereas field cultivation gives them a natural growth cycle and flavour.
Paul Van Hoof and his son Pieter grow runner beans and cauliflowers together.
