    Pods. There are three categories of pods; Extra fine pods, fine pods, and bobby beans. Extra fine pods are tender, puffy, and seedless. They have no strings, and their diameter is less than 6mm and a length of 10cm. On the other hand, fine pods have small seeds, soft strings, and tender, puffy skin. The pods are longer than extra fine pods by about 3mm. Bobby beans are generally bigger and large. At FrutPlanet, we only source either fine or extra pods for our export customers.

    Shape: French beans are either straight or curvy with pointed ends. The length of French beans ranges between 6 and 12 cm. The pod’s skin should be smooth, and the ends should be tapered and pointed. Deformity and curling of French beans are signs of irregular watering. At FrutPlanet, we handpick and package all the beans and ensure we get rid of deformed beans.

    Colour: French beans are usually green, although a yellow variety exists. The yellow French beans are Haricot Jaune, a common vegetable in French cuisines. Green French beans can turn yellow due to a lack of water, and as a result, they lack nutrients. FrutPlanet has specialised professionals who check the beans before packaging.

    Smell: The French beans’ smell isn’t very noticeable. However, sensitive people realise that it has a faint grassy vegetal smell. On the other hand, if they’re ill-odored, whether green or mouldy, dispose them. The French beans can be green, yet they have undergone bacterial growth internally, which leads to a bad smell. Our team individually examines each bean when packaging to ensure that our customers only get quality produce.

        Weight Loss: French beans can help you lose weight effortlessly. They offer nutritional value like other vegetables but with fewer calories and fat. Additionally, they have highly fibrous, a component that increases your food content. The fibres also protect you from constipation by improving the metabolism in the stomach. Essentially, when you eat French beans, you improve your metabolism and lower your body’s calories and blood sugar levels.

        Boosts Heart Health: French beans have lower fat and cholesterol content. Cholesterol in diets converts to fats that build up in your blood vessels, mostly the arteries. Consequentially, they reduce the diameter of the vessels resulting in hypertension, heart attacks, and stroke. French beans lower cholesterol in your vessels by having high fibre content. 

        Boosts Bone Health: French beans have high levels of minerals like vitamin K. The vitamin improves the absorption of calcium and other minerals by the body. Lack of calcium and other minerals such as magnesium leads to osteoporosis-related disorders. The condition is characterised by brittle and fracturing bones. Calcium, magnesium, and vitamin K strengthen the bones and eventually reduce the risk of bone-related cancers.

        Reduces Depression: One of the major causes of depression is an imbalance of chemicals in the body, especially in the neurotransmitters. Some of these minerals that can tamper with the workings of your brain cells include norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine. French beans contain vitamin B9, a chemical that reduces the production of homocysteine, which promotes chemical imbalance.

        Promotes Fertility: French beans are a good source of iron, a mineral that promotes fertility. Studies by Harvard medical school show that a woman’s fertility level is directly proportional to the amount of iron she consumes. Additionally, the beans provide folic acid, a chemical that protects the fetus against neural defection.

        Cancer: French beans have a high-level distribution of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is known to block any carcinogenic attributes that could result from grilling meat. Experts advise that people who love eating high-temperature grilled meat add in little green vegetables to eliminate the risk. French beans have a high level of chlorophyll which could do your body better than harm.

        Packaging

        Here at FrutPlanet, we observe health in the packaging process. Therefore, when transporting the produce from the farm, we pack them in clean plastic containers and cover them with clothing. Once harvested, French beans need a cool and dry environment. Also, the transporting boxes are highly ventilated.

        Once in our warehouse, we package the beans in fibreboard cartons. The total gross weight of the cartons and beans is about 3kg. Our personnel handpicks the French beans to ensure quality at every step. The farmers we partner with are consciously aware of our competitive scrutinising process, which explains why they are committed to providing only quality.

        Grading and Sorting

        At this stage, we factor in your specifications. How do you want the French beans?  Generally, we ensure the beans are intact, fresh, clean, and have no external deformity or harm. We get rid of any pod that could have been damaged when transporting it to our warehouse. We also ensure that the beans meet the size, colour, shape, and smell specifications.

        We grade the French beans into extra fine, fine, and bobby grades. The extra fine grade peas must be straight, tender, and have no seeds or strings. As aforementioned, the bean must measure 6mm in diameter and 10cm in length. 

        The fine-grade French beans are slightly curved with a short soft string. The diameter of the bean ranges from 6-9mm, and the length 12-14cm. Lastly, the bobby grade is large and has a diameter of about 9mm, and the length is over 14cm.

        How long do French beans take to grow?

        Where do French beans grow?

        • Buy Lettuce Online From Kenya Exporters Sold By: FrutPlanet

          Are you looking for a reliable Kenyan lettuce exporter? Look no further than FrutPlanet. We have helped millions of customers buy lettuce online and other fresh agricultural produce. Whether you want to order while in Europe, Australia, or the Middle East, FrutPlanet can source and deliver different types of lettuce. We export high-quality organic lettuce.  

          Where Does Lettuce Come From?

          There’s conflicting information on where lettuce originated from, but many historians point to the Mediterranean area, Europe, or Asia. Documentation establishes Ancient Egyptians as the first to practice lettuce farming over 6,000 years ago.

          Today, lettuce is grown all over the world. China, the United States, India, Italy, and Spain lead in lettuce farming worldwide. In Africa, Kenya and South Africa are among the top-producing nations. 

          The commercialisation of lettuce in Kenya began around the 1970s, although most farmers could sell it locally. Export-oriented lettuce farms were established in the 1980s. Kenyans, except those from dry regions like North Eastern and southern Kenya, have increasingly ventured into lettuce farming over the years. 

          In 2021, Kenya exported 142.93K metric tonnes of fresh lettuce worth US$472,020. Unfortunately, the value of lettuce exports declined in 2020 because the world was battling a pandemic. 

          Between 2017 and 2019, experts valued lettuce exports at $13,000 to $39,000. With the stabilisation of economies, we are looking forward to increased exports, with projections showing the market could hit a million dollars in 2023.  

          Where Does Lettuce Come From Kenya? 

          A high percentage of lettuce supplies is mainly from farmers in Trans-Nzoia, Kiambu, Nyeri, Uasin-Gishu, Nakuru, Nandi, Laikipia, Kisii, Bungoma, and Kericho. 

          Since most are small-scale lettuce farmers, it is not easy to supply globally. That’s why FrutPlanet partners with them to deliver fresh, organic lettuce to customers who buy lettuce online. We have a strong market presence, especially in Europe, the Middle East, and Australia.

          Codfish Farming

          Cod fishing can be traced back to the Viking period, around 800 AD, before it spread to Portugal, Canada, China, and other nations. Over the years, cod fishing grounds became competitive, causing a decline in most codfish species. Some countries marked some zones as exclusive and prohibited fishing activities.

          That led to many farmers in the coastline or seashore areas embracing codfish farming. Today China, Iceland, Russia, Netherlands, Germany, Norway, and Poland lead in codfish production and export.

          In 2021, China exported codfish worth $591.3M, Iceland ($323.9M), Russia ($174.3), Netherlands ($152.1M), Germany ($129.8M), and Norway ($115.3). These leading suppliers export farmed and sea-sourced codfish. There’s a sufficient supply of wholesale cod fish for businesses to tap into and meet customer demands.

          What Are Sardines

          What are sardines? Sardines are small, highly nutritious oily fish in the family Clupeidae, which also comprises herrings, shads, and hilsa. They are silvery fish with a single dorsal fin.

          Most sardine species live in areas around the Pacific and Indian oceans. Like most saltwater fish species, sardines are not farmed. Freshwater sardines like the Sardinella tawilis can be farmed, although not in significant numbers.

          The major exporters of wild sardines are Morocco, Japan, China, Russia, and Oman. In 2021, Morocco exported $244.19M worth of sardines, followed by China ($188.88M) and Japan ($67.83M).

          Growing Parsley In Kenya

          Parsley is a herb native to Sardinia (Mediterranean area) and was first introduced to Kenyan farmers in the Western region and parts of the Rift valley, such as Kakamega, Kitale, and Nakuru. Parsley farming is increasingly becoming popular as more farmers move from small-scale to large-scale farming.

          However, farmers growing parsley at a small-scale level form the more significant percentage. The Kenyan government has played a major role in helping parsley farmers understand the behaviour of the plant and how to control pests and diseases to achieve maximum parsley benefits. 

          Through KALRO, farmers get taught about soil fertility management, harvest and post-harvest management, and more. This has contributed mainly to more farmers taking an interest in growing parsley for local and international markets.

          Oregano Growing In Kenya

          The millions who have embraced oregano growing in Kenya are smallholder farmers. Nevertheless, with the help of oregano exporters — through closely controlled farming — these farmers can supply their herbs worldwide.
