Use thin sticks to keep plants upright and pods off the soil. Pick regularly, once they are about 10 cm long and snap easily. Dwarf beans freeze well; simply blanch them in boiling water for a minute or two then drain, allow to cool and bag them for the freezer. Alternatively, leave the pods on until fully mature, harvesting when dry, but before the first frost. Do not pick after rain. Remove beans from pods, lay out in a warm place to dry until hard. Store in an airtight jar.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unwins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54989195903361,"sku":"WEST-31210010","price":2.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0544\/8758\/0845\/files\/tp0edg0prvf.jpg?v=1763474152","url":"https:\/\/www.direct4pet.co.uk\/products\/cannellini-bean-sorano","provider":"Direct 4 Pet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
