The “Ganxet” bean is a legume typical from the Vallès region presenting a soft peel, a delicate flavour, a creamy texture and not floury at all. It owes its name to its shape, which reminds of a kidney or a crochet hook (“ganxet” in Catalan).
“Ganxet” beans are a typical ingredient of the traditional Catalan cuisine and taste well when seasoned with some oil or eaten with some bacon fat or Catalan “botifarra”.
You can buy them at Agrobotiga Agrària Vallès.
