Broad Bean 'Ratio'
Ratio is a short, well branched broad bean which is our pick for small vegetable gardens. It was a top performer in our container growing trial of 2024 and its bushy habit makes it perfect for anyone who wants to avoid staking their beans. The pods are shorter-than-average (much like the plants) and the beans are plump and delectable.
This is an all-round brilliant variety specifically bred for organic growing conditions by De Bolster in the Netherlands.
Sow: Valentines day - May direct 20-30cm apart
Harvest: June - July
Kitchen: Steam or sautee. Pairs well with alliums (garlic, onions, shallots), fats (butter, feta, smoked fish, bacon), aromatics (mint, dill, parsley, chilli).
Notes: Keep an eye out for black fly and nip the growing tips off at the first sign of invasion.
36g (approx 30 seeds). We pack seeds by weight, the number of seeds in a packet is an estimate.
Germ: 92% Oct 25
