Growing Method

BelOrta runner beans are grown both outdoors and in greenhouses. In the open field they develop in fresh air, while in a greenhouse they’re protected under glass. This influences their growth and quality. Greenhouse cultivation provides a consistent temperature and shields the beans from the weather, whereas field cultivation gives them a natural growth cycle and flavour.
