Fresh vegetables | Beans, green beans

Sugar snap peas (or mangetout) are eaten whole, including the pod. Selected by Le Delas in a handy 250g pack, they are harvested very young to ensure a flat, extremely tender pod that is completely string-free. They have a mild, slightly sweet flavour, offering a much-appreciated crunchy contrast. Professional uses, preparation and storage: ► Spring garnishes: Ideal for accompanying spring white meats, risottos or to add a lively touch to stir-fries of crunchy vegetables. ► Asian cuisine: Fits perfectly into quick wok dishes with strips of meat or king prawns. ► Preparation: A very brief cooking time (just a few minutes) by boiling or steaming is sufficient to preserve its vibrant colour and crunch. ► Storage: Keep in the fridge in its original packaging to prevent the pods from drying out and losing their texture.

This product is a tray containing approximately 500g of fresh, extra-fine green beans with the ends trimmed. These beans are selected for their fineness, uniformity and tenderness. The fact that they are already trimmed (heads and tails removed) saves considerable time for catering professionals. They are packaged in trays to preserve their freshness and quality. They mainly come from Kenya, which generally guarantees a constant supply of extra-fine green beans. Professional culinary uses: Extra-fine green beans are a versatile side dish, appreciated for their delicate texture and fresh flavour: ► Classic side dish: Ideal for simple side dishes (green beans with butter, garlic and parsley), enhancing meat or fish dishes. ► Mixed salads: Excellent cold in mixed salads (Niçoise salad, gourmet salad), adding crunch and colour. ► Fine garnish: Their fineness and uniform size make them perfect for neat presentations, cold or hot buffets, or as a garnish for gourmet dishes. ► Time-saving: Pre-trimming significantly reduces preparation time in the kitchen. Storage and preparation tips: ► Storage: Fresh product. Store in a cool place (ideally in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator) and consume quickly to ensure tenderness. ► Preparation: Rinse before cooking. Cook briefly (boil or steam) to preserve their beautiful green colour, crunchiness (al dente) and nutritional qualities. ► Tip: Plunge the cooked beans into ice water after cooking to create a thermal shock, which fixes the chlorophyll and maintains their bright colour.
