GFA Evaluation

How this product scored against the Good Food Standard

Good

Giant heirloom runner bean (Gigante-type, Phaseolus coccineus), California-grown from Greek heritage seed lineage. Thick-skinned exterior becomes creamy with extended cooking. One of Rancho Gordo's highest-volume products by unit sales.

Clean

Heritage Greek-lineage seed. California-grown. New-crop annually. No additives.

Fair

Same California farm partnership model. High sales volume of this variety supports continued cultivation by partnering farms.

True

'Royal Corona' is Rancho Gordo's varietal name for their California-grown Gigante-type bean. Gigante is a descriptive term for large-seeded Phaseolus coccineus grown in Greece — the California-grown version uses authentic seed stock but has no Greek geographic certification.
