Slender, snappy, and bursting with freshness, our Fresh Beans — including French Beans, Green Beans, and Long Beans — are a staple in Indian, South Asian, and European kitchens. Known as Huralikayi in Kannada, these beans are harvested young for maximum tenderness and flavour. Shop the full range in our Everyday Vegetables collection or explore all fresh produce in Fresh Foods.
For a quick Beans Poriyal (South Indian stir-fry), sauté with mustard seeds, curry leaves, dried red chilli, and grated coconut. Add to Sambar, Mixed Vegetable Curry, or Pulao for extra nutrition. Blanch and toss with olive oil and garlic for a simple European-style side, or add raw to salads for crunch. Beans also work beautifully in Aloo Beans Sabzi — a classic comfort dish loved across India.
Store unwashed beans in a perforated plastic bag in the refrigerator. Use within 3–4 days for best texture. Blanch and freeze for longer storage — they keep well for up to 3 months.
