Swedish Brown Beans

Hodmedod

Sorry, not available right now

Notify me when this product is available:

Sorry, our rare beans were very popular and we sold out quickly.

We're planning to have a lot more rare beans of different varieties available from this year's harvest but you'll have to wait till the autumn. As soon as we have any more available we'll announce them in our newsletter. In the meantime please have a look at our other less rare pulses.

We've very limited quantities of some special rare beans from a handful of growers.

Difficult to grow in the UK and a globally scarce heritage variety, Edward Lea at Green Acres Farm has done a fantastic job raising a small crop for harvest.

Bruna Bönor or Swedish Brown Beans are traditionally grown on the island of Öland, just off the east coast of Sweden. Taxonomist Carl Linnaeus mentioned bean production on the island in 1741, probably the same brown beans that are grown today. They’re a variety of Phaseolus vulgaris, the same incredibly diverse family of beans from the Americas that includes borlotti, cannellini and haricots.

In Sweden Brown Beans are traditionally used to make a kind of sweetened baked bean. They’re great for home-made baked beans or as a substitute for other white beans (such as cannellini).
