Soleil bean variety is an unusual yellow asparagus French bean with an exquisite oily aroma that lends dishes an elegant taste and aroma. This variety was created based on the old rice bean Soleil with the aim of increasing the size of the seeds used as dry grain, while maintaining the high quality of thick bean pods. Elegant sun-yellow pods reach an optimal length of about 10 cm, at which their peak taste is revealed. The pods have small, extra-slim, circular cross-section shapes without fibers, which ensures a tender texture and an excellent fresh taste.
Soleil variety plants are vertical, reaching a height of up to 50 cm and are adorned with a multitude of beans. Ripening begins approximately 60 days after germination, and fruiting continues all summer, allowing for a stable yield. White bean seeds are compact and neat in shape, making them convenient for use both fresh and as dry grain.
This bean variety is particularly valued on the discerning French market and in restaurants due to its unique taste and aroma. Short steaming is recommended, which allows preserving the rich golden color of the pods and maximizing their oily aroma. In addition, the bean is well-suited for canning, maintaining an attractive appearance and taste qualities.
