Snap beans, string beans, or green beans are eaten fresh, pod and all. The pods can be green, purple, red, or streaked. I've included yellow wax beans here. For the best taste and texture, choose thinner pods that do not have the seeds starting to develop. Fanatastic in soups, stews, curries, pilafs, stir-frys, tempura, pickles. Enjoy raw, sliced thinly and added to salads and slaws.
