Kingston’s fresh, brightly colored green beans
can be enjoyed year round. Green beans are
one of the most commonly used vegetables in
dishes across America. Vitamins such as B6
and B2 can be as high as 90 percent in these
tasty beans.
Commonly referred to as string beans, the
string that once was their trademark can seldom
be found in modern varieties. Although these
bright green and crunchy beans are available at
your local market throughout the year, they are
in season from summer through early fall when
they are at their best and the least expensive.
Green beans are picked while still immature
and the inner bean is just beginning to form.
They are one of only a few varieties of beans
that are eaten fresh. Although green beans vary
in size they average about four inches in length.
They are usually deep emerald green in color
and come to a slight point at either end and
contain tiny seeds within their thin pods.
