Cultivation & harvest
The ideal growing conditions for pole beans consist of a warm, sunny location protected from the wind and a humus-rich, deep soil.
Use
Runner beans are versatile in the kitchen. For example, the unripe pods can be used for soups, salads or as a garnish. The seeds from mature pods are popular in hearty salad preparations, stews or as a side dish with meat and fish.
Storage
Fresh runner beans can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. However, it is best to eat them directly fresh, as they quickly lose their crunchiness. The dried seeds can be stored in a cool and dark place for at least a year.
