Mortgage Runner Beans grow on a runner-bean type plant.
Inside the pods, when mature, are large, plump, oval white beans.
When cooked, Mortgage Runner Beans have a mild taste, and a starchy texture.
They don’t hold their shape when cooked as they tend to fall apart, which makes them good for purées.
Mortgage Runner Beans are also good for soups or casseroles.
Mortgage Beans double in size when cooked.
