Ganxet– 15 Organically grown seeds

Ganxet , sometimes called Mongeta del Ganxet, (Mongeta  means little nun) beans are grown in a small area of Catalonia in the Maresme and Vallès counties. These beans are medium sized, with slightly rough skin and subtle flavor. Since 2011 they have their own European Protected Designation of Origin (PDO)  Ganxet beans are known for their creaminess,their almost imperceptible skin and smooth taste. They are ideal for dishes where we want to highlight the flavors of the ingredients. Considered the finest white bean in the world by many chefs and food gourmets. Because the plant itself is not extremely productive, prices for this bean at market are usually very high. Extremely if not impossible to find seed outside of Spain. The staple in many Catalonian dishes.  We are very proud to be able to offer this bean seed. Our original source was a preservation seed bank in Spain to ensure authenticity.

*We ask that you not order more than 2 packets per order.
