Label Rouge Dried Tarbais Beans
France
Certainly One of the Finest Beans You’ll Ever Find, The Legendary Haricot Tarbais
A white bean that doubles in size overnight after soaking... sounds like a miracle, right? Well, it might not be divine intervention, but it does come from just 15 minutes away from Lourdes! Meet the Haricot Tarbais, a true culinary treasure from Southwest France.
Recognized with the prestigious Label Rouge designation, this bean stands for exceptional quality and flavor. In France, it is widely regarded as the best bean for cassoulet, and for good reason.
With its incredibly thin skin, melt-in-your-mouth texture, and excellent hold when cooked, the Haricot Tarbais is beloved by chefs and food lovers alike. It's also surprisingly healthy, with just 112 kcal per 100g (cooked), low in salt and fat, and a natural source of magnesium and vitamins, making it the perfect companion for those watching their diet.
A 500g pack yields up to 10 generous servings, giving you endless possibilities in the kitchen:
Use as a base for salads, warm dishes, or of course, an authentic French cassoulet
Or as a creative ingredient for desserts, flans, or spreads, a healthy substitute for butter!
Once opened, reseal the bag tightly and store in a cool, dry, dark place. It can be stored for several months.
Slight yellowing is natural and does not affect quality.
PREPARATION TIPS:
Soak the dry beans overnight in a large bowl of water (at least 12 hours). This essential step ensures even cooking and easier digestion.
Drain, then cook in fresh cold water, never add salt, as it will harden the skin.
Add herbs and vegetables to flavor the cooking broth.
Bring to a boil, then simmer gently for at least 1 hour.
