Beans (Snap)
Snap beans, produced commercially in many States,
are available throughout the year. Most beans found
in the food store will be the common green podded
varieties, but large green pole beans and yellow wax
beans are occasionally available.
Look for: A fresh, bright appearance with good color
for the variety. Get young, tender beans with pods in a
firm, crisp condition.
Avoid: Wilted or flabby bean pods, serious blemishes,
and decay. Thick, tough, fibrous pods indicate
overmaturity
