Rocquencourt Butter Dwarf Bean - Organic
(0)
$4.49
Unit price / perThe Rocquencourt Butter dwarf bean is a heritage variety of French origin, renowned for its reliability and the remarkable quality of its pods. The compact plants, with their upright growth habit, quickly form neat and easy-to-maintain rows, typical of well-structured dwarf beans.
They produce tasty, smooth, uniform, golden-yellow beans, generally measuring 12 to 17 cm in length. These pods are free of parchment, the tough fiber sometimes found on certain beans, giving them a particularly tender and pleasant texture, even at a slightly later stage of harvest.
In the garden, Beurre de Rocquencourt stands out for its exceptional performance, even under more demanding growing conditions. This variety demonstrates good tolerance to humid and relatively cool climates, where other beans may struggle to produce. This hardiness makes it a reliable choice for unpredictable seasons or vegetable gardens subjected to prolonged periods of rain.
Harvested regularly, it offers a generous and consistent production, ideal for gardeners looking for a reliable, tasty butter bean that is easy to integrate into a vegetable rotation.
In the local area, the Rocquencourt Butter bean is seen as a reliable plant. It embodies the qualities of well-selected heritage varieties: consistency, adaptability, and the simple pleasure of successful harvests, even when conditions are not ideal.

• Sowing: Easy germination
• Cultivation: Easy plant to grow
• Growing season: Warm season
• Growth: Rapid growth
Note: Sow in well-warmed soil and avoid overwatering at the beginning of the growing season. Frequent harvests stimulate production.
The Rocquencourt Butter bean is particularly prized for its fine, black-seeded pods and delicate flavor. It can be eaten fresh, simply picked from the garden, but also reveals its full quality when gently cooked.
The pods are ideal for steaming or quick sautéing, where their texture remains tender and melting. They also blend perfectly into soups and stews, adding a vegetal sweetness that harmonizes well with other seasonal vegetables.
This bean is at its best when harvested young and slender, at a stage where the yellow color of the pods is still slightly tinged with green. At this precise moment, the flesh is the finest and the flavor most balanced, without any fiber.
Long present in European market gardening traditions, Rocquencourt Butter embodies a simple cuisine that respects the product, where the right time to harvest makes all the difference between an ordinary bean and an exceptional pod.
