Dikotylon's "Gigantes Feneou" are produced by local farmers in Feneos, a high mountain valley nestled between the peaks of Mt. Helmos and Mt. Zyria at an elevation of 2,000 feet, in the northern Peloponnese. The area is renowned for its bean cultivation. Gigantes Feneou retain their unique characteristics through cultivation techniques that have been handed down from generation to generation. They are entirely hand farmed and hand processed. The exclusive selection of seeds, by the farmers themselves, for sowing the following year preserves the purity of these unique beans.

This is the second time I’ve ordered the Gigantes! I received them so fast! I used them in one of Diane’s recipes a few years back and they were fantastic! I plan on using that same recipe ! I am a big fan of her show !!
United StatesGreat beans!
I can compare these with a recent purchase of dried large Lima beans. When I soaked the giant limas, they shriveled up and the beans skin came off during cooking. When I soaked these they maintained their shape and continued to do so during cooking. They turned out tasty and very creamy.
