Broad Bean 'Ratio'

Description

Ratio is a short, well branched broad bean which is our pick for small vegetable gardens. It was a top performer in our container growing trial of 2024 and its bushy habit makes it perfect for anyone who wants to avoid staking their beans. The pods are shorter-than-average (much like the plants) and the beans are plump and delectable.

This is an all-round brilliant variety specifically bred for organic growing conditions by De Bolster in the Netherlands.

Sow: Valentines day - May direct 20-30cm apart
Harvest: June - July
Kitchen: Steam or sautee. Pairs well with alliums (garlic, onions, shallots), fats (butter, feta, smoked fish, bacon), aromatics (mint, dill, parsley, chilli).
Notes: Keep an eye out for black fly and nip the growing tips off at the first sign of invasion.

Germ: 96% Nov 24
