Vegetables: Green Beans: American, Yellow and Haricot Vert

Nutritional Information:
Good source of fiber.

What To Look For:
Choose beans that have a bright color without brown or soft spots. Large pods may be tough or bitter.

Storage, Easy Cooking:
Pull off any strings along the pod's seams before cooking. Beans may be left whole, cut lengthwise in thin slivers or cut crosswise on the diagonal.

Best Uses:
For one pound of beans, bring 3 quarts of water to a boil, add a few teaspoons of salt, and then the beans. Boil for 6 to 12 minutes, depending on their width. Leave uncovered and taste often for desired crispness. Drain the beans and immediately refresh under cold running water.
