The name 'Verdina' comes from the Spanish word 'verde,' meaning 'green,' which perfectly captures the vibrant hue of these beans. They are harvested early, before they have a chance to dry in the pod, and are then carefully dried in the dark to preserve their striking colour and exceptional flavour profile. Verdina beans are about 15mm long and flat. They are planted in May and need a lot of water (hence their origin in rainy Northern Spain) before being harvested in November. They are creamy, with a gentle flavour and very thin skin. Click here for a Verdina and Monte Enebro salad recipe. Click here for a Verdina beans and clams recipe.
