Fresh & Tender: Fresh Long Beans (Achinga Payar), Available at MalabarMart.co.uk
Add a touch of authentic crunch to your kitchen with our Fresh Long Beans, a vibrant tropical legume celebrated across Asian and Caribbean cultures. Known as Achinga Payar (അച്ചിങ്ങ പയർ) in Malayalam and Barbatti (बरबट्टी) in Hindi, these "yardlong" beans are prized for their succulent, snappy texture and their ability to absorb rich spices without losing their firm bite. Whether you are stir-frying them with coconut for a classic Achinga Mezhukkupuratti or adding them to a spicy Barbatti ki Sabzi, our beans offer a garden-fresh taste that far exceeds standard green beans. For the best selection of tender, pencil-thin pods delivered across the UK, ensure you source your supply from Malabar Mart.
Product Details & Culinary Flexibility:
Appearance: Long, slender, deep green pods, typically 12–18 inches in length, hand-picked for Malabar Mart quality standards.
Texture & Flavour: Crisp and slightly chewy when sautéed; they offer a mild, subtly sweet flavour that pairs beautifully with garlic, chilli, and ginger.
Asian Culinary Staple: A must-have for Kerala Avial, Chinese-style stir-fries, and Thai papaya salads (Som Tum).
Storage Advice: These are fresh, tropical pods. Keep your Malabar Mart long beans in a perforated bag in the refrigerator to maintain their snap for up to 5 days.
Preparation Tip: Simply trim the ends and chop into 1–2 inch pieces. Unlike regular beans, these don't turn mushy easily, making them perfect for slow-cooked curries and quick stir-fries.

Vitamin Rich: An excellent source of Vitamin A and C, crucial for boosting your immune system and maintaining healthy skin.
High in Folate: Essential for healthy cell division and particularly beneficial during pregnancy.
