Collecting runner bean seeds

  • At the end of the runner bean season all the beans will have been picked
  • Some beans will have dried on the pod and you will be able to hear them by shaking the bean
  • The other bigger looking beans will need to be removed and left to dry
  • To remove both the dry and big beans, open up the pod and remove the seeds
  • Leave on a dry surface for two weeks in a normal house temperatures which is dry and has good ventilation
  • After two weeks they should have dried thoroughly, throw away any small or damaged looking beans
  • Once these have dried you can either:
  1. Place the beans into an envelope, seal, label and store in a glass jar ready for next season
  2. Save the beans for cooking (these dried beans will need soaking first though)
