Green Beans

Green beans, also known as string beans, snap beans,  are the young, unripe pods of the common bean plant. They are harvested before the seeds inside fully mature, making the entire pod tender and edible.
 
Common preparations: Steamed, boiled, sautéed, roasted, or stir-fried; often seasoned with garlic, butter, almonds, or bacon. Popular in casseroles, salads, and side dishes.
 
Fresh green beans were always on our table growing up, so we love to grow and can the green beans to enjoy them year around.
