How to Wear
With spunk, please. The Grande Rolande begs to be snapped. Any simple outfit can become more outlandish. This bean is about confidence in being quirky. It’ll spark conversation and collaboration.

Curiosities
Beans come from the same Peruvian ancestor. They are Phaseolus vulgaris.
In 1819 Thomas Jefferson wrote, “I have lived temperately, eating little animal food, and that … as a condiment for the vegetables, which constitute my principal diet.”
In The Virginia Housewife, published in 1824, Mary Randolph, a first cousin of Thomas Jefferson’s, had this to say about the French or snap bean: It should be picked young and prepared with the strings plucked, not “Frenched” by slicing them longitudinally. “Those who are nice,” she wrote, “do not use them at such a growth as to require splitting.
The Rolande is one of the sweetest varieties of haricot vert, revived from a French seed saver. Janet’s favorite sources for seeds are Territorial Seed Company; Baker Creek Heirloom; and Johnny’s Selected Seeds.
