Green beans are native to the Americas and have been enjoyed here for centuries as a staple of many cultures' diets. Bake into a green bean casserole; blanch and serve Amandine; batter and fry into green bean fries.

Store unwashed, fresh beans in a reusable container or plastic bag in the refrigerator crisper for up to a week.

Add to Salade Niçoise with olives, toss with goat cheese and almonds, fry with garlic, or practice your canning and make pickled dilly beans so that you can have fresh green beans all winter long!
