· SIZE IS DETERMINED BY THE MAXIMUM WIDTH OF THE
POD MEASURED AT RIGHT ANGLES TO THE SEAM. |
|
· TO ENSURE UNIFORMITY IN SIZE, NEEDLE BEANS IN THE
SAME PACKAGE SHALL NOT EXCEED: o
6 MM WHEN MARKED
“VERY FINE”; o
9 MM WHEN MARKED
“FINE”; o
12 MM WHEN MARKED
“MEDIUM”. |
|
·
THE VERY FINE BEANS
ARE SOMETIMES NAMED “EXTRA FINE”. THE ROUND POD BEANS OF SIZE “MEDIUM” ARE
ALSO NAMED “BOBBY” BEANS. |
|
·
OTHER THAN NEEDLE
BEANS MAY BE SIZED BUT MUST NOT NECESSARILY MEET THE SIZING CRITERIA
SPECIFIED ABOVE. IN THIS CASE, THE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM WIDTH OF THE POD MUST
BE INDICATED ON THE PACKAGE. |
