The Ferme des 3 Rois of Trésors de Beauce offers us natural products, thanks to their technical expertise and the use of advanced agricultural equipment. Their production respects biodiversity through meticulous fertilization management and responsible irrigation, reflecting a daily commitment to quality, from planting to packaging. Sown in the spring after the last frost, it requires regular irrigation. The plant produces small pods containing the beans.

Flavors of the Lingot White Bean

The Lingot white bean stands out for its creamy texture and slightly mealy taste. Raw, its taste is relatively neutral, but once cooked, it blends and takes on the flavor of the accompanying ingredients and spices.

How to Use White Beans in Cooking?

Often used for cassoulet preparation, the white bean pairs perfectly in various soups and stews, as well as to accompany cold salads.

How to Cook the Lingot White Bean?

• - In water: soak the beans for 8 to 12 hours before cooking. Drain and rinse them. Place them in a pot and add 3 times their volume of water, cover and bring to a boil. Reduce to low heat and cook for 1 to 1.5 hours.
• - In a pressure cooker: pour a tablespoon of vegetable oil at the bottom of the cooker, then add the pre-soaked beans with 10cl of water. Heat over low heat and cook for 50 minutes.
