flageolet

These tiny, tender French kidney beans range in color from pale green to creamy white. Flageolets are the young delicate seeds of haricot beans gathered and shelled while they’re a pale shade of ivory-green. They're rarely available fresh in the United States but can be purchased dried, canned and occasionally frozen. Flageolets are usually prepared simply, in order to showcase their delicate flavor. They're a classic accompaniment to lamb.
