The Skinny On Green Beans
Green beans are in abundance right now, and whether you choose traditional green, yellow (called wax beans) or even purple, they are bound to be the sweetest and freshest of the season.
When choosing green beans, go for long and skinny over short and plump, as the longer beans tend to be sweeter and crisper than their stumpier counterparts. If the beans “snap” when broken in half, and look bright and moist, snap them up!
To cook green beans to perfection, trim the stem ends and leave the wispy string end intact. Add salt to the cooking water when boiling or steaming to help them stay bright in color.
Then rinse and enjoy!
