In Season
July- August

Storage Tip
store up to 1 week

Store unwashed in a perforated plastic bag in the refrigerator.


For longer storage, snap into pieces (or leave whole if young and tender), blanch in boiling water for 3 minutes, cool immediately, and drain.  Leave 1/2 in. of headroom before freezing in containers.  Beans can also be pressure cooked and canned or pickled as dilly beans.


Culinary Tips
  • To prepare, break off the top of the bean at the stem end.
  • Best when blanched or steam for 5-10 min.
  • Beans are done when the color begins to brighten and become tender (not soft or mushy).
  • If you serving the beans cold in a salad, cook them less so they stay crisp.
  • Simply flavor with butter, lemon juice, sautéed onions, or herbed vinaigrette.
