They measure about 16 cm in length and have a flat shape, easy to pick. The compact and upright plants make harvesting easy and allow a good yield on a small surface.
These beans have a delicate flavor and are very tasty, perfect to be eaten fresh, but also suitable for freezing and pickling, which allows them to be preserved for a long time while preserving their taste. The "Maxibel" variety is also resistant to diseases and adapts well to different types of soil, although it prefers well-drained soil and a sunny location. The beans can be harvested about 55 days after sowing, thus offering a quick and abundant harvest.
