British Beans and Peas evoke the taste of summers gone by, when we sat on the back step to pod peas for Mum, or helped Dad pick fresh beans from the garden.

They taste as good today as they have always done and now today’s children are discovering just how delicious they are.

Enjoying British vegetables when they’re in season is firmly back on the foodie agenda with summer bringing a wealth of seasonal produce. From June to September every year we can savour some of the freshest British Runner, Broad and Dwarf Beans and Peas that are home grown and bursting with goodness.

Top chefs have led the way, opting to cook with and serve seasonal produce so it’s no surprise to see British beans and peas back ‘in vogue’ and on the menu.

Now used in more contemporary dishes, these ‘summer greens’ are delighting friends enjoying al fresco get-togethers, are perfect for picnics and are equally quick to prepare and pop in healthy lunchboxes.

Simple dishes using the freshest ingredients. That’s what summer’s all about!
