runner beans
Pole-grown legumes
Runner beans are a climbing variety of bean plant grown for its long, flat green pods, eaten whole as a vegetable.
Common in British cooking, they're typically sliced diagonally before cooking.
The name comes from the plant's running vines, which climb supports as they grow.
We had runner beans from the garden with Sunday roast.
