Mogettes from Vendée Weight: 500g (17.6 oz) Pack: 14 UPC: 3700225106347 Awarded France's coveted “Label Rouge” in 2010, this small shiny white kidney-shaped bean is tender and melting, with a thin skin. It figures prominently in dishes of the Vendée region, such as jambon-mogettes (ham and white beans). Like other white beans, it is good with lamb and sausages and even with seafood. It is also good served simply in a salad. Or rub a slice of bread with garlic, butter it, spread the beans on top, et voilà! the Vendéen favorite, the gralée de mogette. Origin: Vendée, France |

Green flageolet beans Weight: 500g (17.6 oz) Pack: 14 UPC: 3700225106040 First produced by Gabriel Chevrier in 1872, these small thin somewhat flattened beans are harvested in August and September before they have matured. Technically a white-seeded bean, they retain their chlorophyl and thus their green color much longer than other beans. Their delicate taste makes them an excellent accompaniment for lamb dishes. Sometimes called green kidney beans.
