About Lingot beans

Lingot beans are a type of white bean associated with French cooking, often sold dried and cooked before use. They are used in soups, stews, and other slow-cooked dishes, where they absorb surrounding flavours while contributing a mild, starchy character.

The beans are generally pale, elongated to oval, and have a smooth skin. When cooked, they become tender with a creamy interior, though the exact size and firmness vary by growing region and product. The name is used for a bean type rather than a single processed product; dried, cooked, and canned forms should not be treated as interchangeable.
