Green Beans
Green Beans also called string beans or french beans, are a hot-season crop available early summer through early fall. They come in purple as well as green. Most bean plants produce these, tender “green beans” before the pod matures.
Caring for Green Beans: Store in a moist towel/cloth bag or plastic bag in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. Enjoy within 5-7 days.
Preparing Green Beans: Remove the tough ends of the beans and any of the string that comes off when you break off the stem. Green beans are delicious raw and shouldn’t be over cooked– steaming or sauteing them lightly will preserve the crispness of the fresh bean.
