description for "Beans: Phaseolus vulgaris 'Rolande'"
A fine French delicacy, 'Rolande' is the very best "filet" or "haricot vert" variety with deep green, truly gourmet beans of delicate flavor and superb quality. They are sensational simply steamed to serve whole with a knob of sweet butter and a sprinkle of fresh chopped herbs. Offers gardeners abundant harvests of long, pencil-slim, rounded 6-inch pods on strong, sturdy, disease-resistant plants. Pick these fine flavored French gourmet beans more often than other bean varieties; at least every other day. They should be full size, but still very slender and no thicker than a pencil. The more you pick, the more plants will produce. Steam or sauté them quickly, just until tender-crisp and serve simply to fully enjoy their tempting flavor. -- edited by dtd pbcouchman
