Couldn't load pickup availability
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.
Germination Guide
Sow indoors in springSoak the beans for a few hours in water
Pot in individual 9cm pots of compost or similar
Germination takes between 1 - 3 weeks at around 17-22c
Keep compost damp but not wet
Harden off before planting out
Plant out once all risk of frost passed and soil has some warmth to it
Unlike normal runner beans, it does not matter if the pods run to seed - it is the seeds/beans you are after!
