Current Facts
Italian flat beans are available in the marketplace in two forms. They may be eaten whole as the pod is edible. The bean itself is crisp and has a wonderful crunch and a mild flavor. Be careful not to overcook as Italian flat beans become mushy and lack their usual good flavor. Allowed to mature on the vine, the pods wither and split and the beans have dried. This dried form is often called Romano beans but requires longer cooking to become digestible.

Description/Taste
Producing wide flat smooth pods that range from five to seven inches in length, Romano beans offer a deliciously meaty texture.
