The flageolet bean is a variety of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) originating from France. The flageolet is picked before full maturity and dried in the shade to retain its green color. The bean is small, light green, and kidney-shaped. The texture is firm and creamy when shelled and cooked. The flageolet bean is grown in California.[1]
Flageolet bean varieties include:
- Chevrier (the original heirloom)
- Elsa
- Flambeau
- Flamingo
Etymology
The bean's name is most likely derived from the appearance of its pod. It may be derived from an Old French word for "little flute" (flageolet). The name could also be a corruption of the Latin genus "phaseolus" from "phaselus" (a small boat).[2]
