About Runner beans
Runner beans are the long, broad pods of a climbing bean plant, harvested while immature for use as a green vegetable. The pods are typically flattened, with visible seeds inside, and have a fresh, mild bean flavour. Mature seeds may also be eaten after cooking.
The young pods are usually topped, tailed and cut before cooking by boiling, steaming or sautéing. They are sold fresh and may be frozen or preserved. Older pods can become fibrous, while the edible seeds and dried beans have different texture and uses from the young pod.
