About Romano bean

Romano bean is a flat-podded bean variety, usually eaten as a fresh green bean before the seeds mature. Its broad, flattened pods are typically green, though yellow-podded forms also occur; they have a substantial, tender texture and a mild, sweet, bean-like flavour.

The pods are commonly trimmed and cooked by steaming, boiling, braising or sautéing, and may be used whole or cut into pieces. Fresh pods are the familiar form; canned and frozen versions are also sold. Mature dried seeds are a distinct form and should not be confused with the fresh pods.
