History and Characteristics of a Special Vegetable

Coral green beans, so called because of their elongated and flat shape that resembles the branches of coral, are a particular variety of green bean that stands out for its tender pulp and the almost total absence of string. Probably originating from the Americas, like all beans, they were introduced to Europe after the discovery of the New World and found fertile ground for their diffusion in the various culinary cultures.

Each organic coral bean that arrives on your table is the result of respectful and sustainable agriculture.
