Lingot Beans are oval white beans, that are somewhat flattened. The plant is a bush-type bean plant and they are grown for use as a dried bean. There are 5 to 6 beans per long pod,

Lingot Beans come in two varieties. Both are creamy and plump when cooked.

The beans are grown primarily in France, but also in Argentina, China and Madagascar.

Lingot du pays Ariégeois

These are Lingot Beans grown in the Ariége Valley. They are planted in May. Harvesting can be done by machines.

Lingot du Nord

These are Lingot Beans grown on around 100 hectares (2005 figures) on the Plaine de la Lys.

The beans are very thin, with a tender skin so no soaking is needed. They are sold only in the year they are harvested.

Lingot Beans have both a Red Label and PGI designation.

The association and brand was created to counter competition from farmers in other countries, whom they felt grew inferior Lignot beans.
