We now are in the fortunate position of having lots to pick almost daily. I have "been," doing some research on Bbeans and am glad to find they are a good source of Vitamin A , C, folate; Thiamin ( B1 ) iron and phosphorus; have no bad cholesterol and are good for the heart. Apparently when eaten with either grains, nuts or seeds they form a complete hi fibre vegetable protein.( same reason baked beans on toast are good for us ! )
I conclude therefore they are good for us.....this fresh even better. We eat them podded and briefly boiled; this small there is no nasty leathery grey skin . Earlier on we were eating the whole small pods and leaf tips.
One way to enjoy them is with pasta......I might put my made up recipe here tomorrow.

I am green with envy for your BBeans! I love them, so your recipe sounds nice. I no longer eat butter or marg, but used to love them soaked with either. I guess a dash of E V Olive oil will have to suffice.
Alison I love your blog your so creative, and it makes me really homesick for NZ. Hope your all well. We really miss your beautiful land. Love Sal xxxxxxxx
We don´t grow the beans here in Iceland.
