Greek Gigantes Beans | 20+ fresh seeds | Plaki | Easy & Delicious

Please find for sale 20+ fresh Greek Gigantes beans. Gigante Beans are extra-large white runner beans, common in Greek dishes such a Plaki. In my humble opinion they knock the socks off butter bean with a sweet, mild taste, meaty texture, and hold their shape well through cooking. They contain high levels of protein, essential minerals and fiber and are low in fat.

Very easy to grow - basically as you would runner beans - so they like deep, rich, moist soil with a frame to climb up.
