DWARF ZOLFINO BEAN - 1184

available icon In stock

This is an ancient variety still grown in Tuscany in the Pratomagno del Casentino area. It is very rare and has exceptional organoleptic characteristics.

This bean's distinctive feature is its almost complete absence of skin, its intense flavor, and its ability to withstand prolonged cooking.
Its very thin skin makes it particularly digestible. The seed is globular, small, and irregularly shaped, with a pale yellow color. The texture is dense, tender, and creamy.
It is grown like the cannellini bean; it is recommended to plant it in soil free from waterlogged soil, as this plant does not tolerate it.
It is a delicate bean to grow, as it is sensitive to strong temperature fluctuations and spring frosts.

Family: Leguminosae/Papilionaceae. Sowing: directly in the ground only when the temperature has stabilized above 10°C; in practice, starting in March in southern regions and elsewhere starting in April. Sowing can be staggered until June so as to be able to harvest the beans at different times. The growing cycle varies from 2 to 3 months. Seeds required: 1.5 - 2 kg per 100 m2 of land. Spacing: sow in rows 40/50 cm apart, planting 3-4 seeds 20/25 cm apart along the rows. The seed should be buried 2-3 cm deep. Fertilization: beans grow well in fertile soil that has been fertilized with organic fertilizers only the year before sowing. Avoid using immature manure. Helpful tips: it is advisable to lightly earth up the soil around the plants to form longitudinal furrows.
