Originating in the South of France, the Fin de Bagnol dwarf bean is an old variety renowned for its round, creamy beans, highly prized in traditional cuisine. Primarily grown in family vegetable gardens, it embodies the simplicity and bounty of a fruit-vegetable well-suited to temperate climates.

In the garden, its compact size makes it easy to grow in close rows, ideal for small spaces or companion planting. Its discreet yet abundant flowering produces small white blossoms that attract pollinators and contribute to local biodiversity. Its relatively early maturity makes this variety a valuable choice for those seeking authentic flavor in early summer.

This bean presents itself as a faithful ally of the gardener, robust in the face of climatic variations and generously offering its delicate pods for family meals.

This bean is a jewel of freshness. Harvested young, at the string stage, it reveals a delicate, melting texture, ideal for quick steaming, pan-frying, or enjoying warm in a salad. Its sweet, crisp flesh is delicious on its own, but also pairs beautifully with tomatoes, fresh herbs, and flavored oils.

Traditionally, it's served hot, drizzled with olive oil or butter, and sprinkled with fleur de sel. It's also delicious blanched and then added to salads or preserved for winter meals. A favorite in the family kitchens of southern France, the Fin de Bagnol bean symbolizes the market bean of yesteryear, picked early in the morning and cooked the same day.
