known as French or round beans, dwarf beans are
small straight green beans. They are quite plump
and fleshy and have a soft and tender skin when
cooked. Dwarf beans have a fresh, clean flavour.
How To Use Dwarf Beans
Dwarf
beans are served cooked and can be eaten hot
or cold. They can be served as an accompanying
vegetable and go well with a variety of foods
particularly fish, chicken and pork. Dwarf beans
can also be included in stir-fries, soups and
salads such as the classic French salad Tuna
Nicoise which also includes potatoes, olives,
anchovies, hard-boiled eggs and salad leaves.

and top and tail the beans and leave whole or
chop into even-sized pieces before cooking.
