As early as the early 1800s, beans, lentils and broad beans were grown in San Quirino. The economic value of San Quirino beans at that time was high: at the Pordenone market the price exceeded that of oats and corn itself. The San Quirino bean belongs to the Phaseolus vulgaris species.
These are elongated, light brown beans with a white eye and a dark brown iris. They are traditionally harvested by hand, weeding the plants (dwarf and grown in rows), letting them dry and then beating them with wooden sticks.
