Ingredients: Descriptions and Photos
Green (string or snap) Beans

(Beans, Green) The most commonly eaten fresh beans are the green beans, which are also called snap beans or string beans. The outer green covering is an edible bean pod. We enjoy them raw in salads or with dips, or cooked plain or in other dishes. Select beans that are young (without large bulges in the pod from maturing beans), firm, and bright in color and without blemishes. The outer texture of the bean should feel velvety. See the nutritional charts below for raw and cooked green beans.

Here are some of our Recipe Suggestions

The above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live! (d-9)
