A little seed with big dreams
A tiny climbing bean with big dreams.
Every borlotti bean is one of a kind. Take a good look at yours — those beautiful speckles are completely unique. No two beans are ever the same.
Right now your bean is sleeping. But give it warmth, water and a little love — and watch what happens.
Curled up inside its coat, quietly waiting for the right moment.
A tiny root pushes down, reaching for water in the dark soil.
A pale shoot pushes up, searching for the light above the soil.
Leaves unfurl and begin making food from sunlight. The magic is working.
Give it a cane to hold onto and watch it climb — up and up and up.
Every single borlotti bean has its own completely unique pattern of speckles. Yours is one of a kind.
Before the pods appear, borlotti beans grow the most beautiful pink and white flowers.
A healthy borlotti plant can grow taller than a grown-up — over two whole metres.
One day your little bean could become something truly delicious.
Beautiful green pods form on the plant, full of beans inside.
We harvest the pods and pop the beans out by hand.
Slowly simmered until soft and full of warm, earthy flavour.
Stirred into soups, stews and salads. Tasty, healthy and full of energy.
Like your bean,
keep growing,
keep climbing
and keep reaching
for the sunlight.
