Bean Starter Set

So wonderful. I use them when a recipe calls for white beans like in NYTimes Lemony Shrimp and Bean Stew (delicious) or Roasted Garlic and White Bean Dip with Rosemary (super delicious)

Try the brown butter miso recipe- it is delish

I failed with off-the shelf big grocery lima beans. Either they wouldn't cook or they would suddenly dissolve in the water. I switched to canned for lima beans but allowed myself another try when these arrived.

They were creamy and delicious! Perfect for my past salad dish.

I cooked some of these with just kombu, salt, and garlic and ate them on toast. They were delicious! Can’t wait to make more with them.

These flageolet beans have become a staple in my kitchen. They have a delicate, slightly nutty flavor and a wonderfully creamy texture when slow-cooked. I especially enjoy preparing them with lotus seeds for a warm, nourishing meal. The quality is excellent, and I appreciate having access to these harder-to-find beans. I've ordered multiple bags and will happily continue purchasing them. Highly recommend!

These baby butter beans are delicious! They have a wonderfully creamy texture, a delicate flavor, and cook up beautifully. They're versatile, nutritious, and perfect for soups, stews, or simply enjoying on their own. I'm very pleased with the quality and will definitely be ordering again. Highly recommend!

Best by themselves, cold in salads or hot in stews or soups. They hold their shape and soak up whatever you cook them in, great with herbs.

Favorites. I order 5 at a time

These flageolet beans are excellent quality and have become one of my favorite pantry staples. They cook beautifully and develop a wonderfully creamy, tender texture while still having a delicate flavor. I especially enjoy slow-cooking them until very soft and using them for warm, hearty meals. They are versatile, satisfying, and consistently good quality. I will definitely continue purchasing them!

These cooked up in about an hour (I didn't pre-soak them). The tasted great — in my opinion, they had the texture and flavor similar to pinto beans. I enjoyed them. Nice to eat beans of a different color once in a while. :-)

I can not say enough about these products.
Most flavorful, easily digestible when cooked right.
I feel fabulous. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

The texture of these beans and the flavor is beyond compare! Will forever order beans from this company!

My family enjoys beans more than ever since I started using Kombu, what a game changer!

Great organic beans and wonderful company .

Cooked as recommended by Lisa, no soaking with just Kombu for flavor (first time for that) and were delicious, used for both salad and veggie stew.

These beans are delicious and cook up quickly if you soak them overnight. And the broth is amazing! I cooked the beans as a side for fajitas and saved the broth for a future soup.

made an insta pot of theese beans. and enjoyed all week in salads.

Great product! Love that they don’t need to be pre soaked and they cook up beautifully

We really love all the beans, but these Butters are our fave

I grew up eating butter beans and Lima beans. They were my absolute favorite. I've eaten these a few times since receiving! I love them very much.

I reviewed Foodocracy's recommendation of using Kombu to cook beans. I was skeptical, but I am now an addict! I cannot cook beans without this "secret" ingredient. Kombu beans for life!

These delicious beans cook up easily without soaking and are really versatile.

Wonderful fresh delicate taste. Cooked slowly with curry leaves and dehydrated tomatoes.

I've been using kombu to cook beans for years. It adds nutrients and there's a chance it reduces the flatulence-inducing aspect of the bean. (On that note, I find a splash of vinegar on a bean dish as it is served also helps in that regard - a tip I got from the Zoe podcast.) My last bag of kombu came from Korea, which is fine. However, it is nice to support a Maine industry. I find Ocean's Balance kombu to be thinner than I am used to; so I use more of it in my bean pots. It cooks down enough so that I don't notice any briny or seaweedy taste when I eat my beans. Give it a try!

Haven't tried it yet but am expecting it to be a great addition to the beans

I love your flageolet beans! I use them in salads or soups; their subtle bean flavor make them easy to add to almost anything.

Love
This company

I created a chicken-based Cassoulet using these flageolet beans, and it was AWESOME! The beans held their shape and provided a bit of "tooth," that is, the beans maintained their shape and texture. They also lost their greenish tint, but that's not a problem.

I am very happy to have purchased these beans and found them a delight!

My husband was having trouble eating beans more than once a week, then I switched to cooking the beans with Kombu and it's been a night and day difference for us! I never want to run out of Kombu.

Honestly does make the dish tastier! Love the fact that it’s good for Gi’s.

I gave them to my daughter in celebration of her birthday!!

So much better than what I had purchased at my local store. Amazing difference. And it is local (Maine) and organic. So glad I purchased it.
