Green
Bean Serving Sizes.
We often get asked "how many servings is in a pound of green beans?"
One pound of fresh green beans trimmed yields approximately 3 cups raw.
One pound of fresh green beans trimmed and cooked yields about 2 cups.
Green Beans Have World Wide Food Appeal!
Every
culture has their own favorite ways to cook green beans.
Asian cultures add spices like garlic,
ginger, scallions, chili paste and soy sauce to green beans.
Greek
green beans are simmered with onions, tomatoes, garlic and oregano until soft.
Italian
recipes for green beans are very similar to the Greek recipes. They call for stewed
tomatoes, onion, garlic, basil and parmesan cheese.
French
love true haricot verts and cook them using white wine, mushrooms, pearl onions
and garlic. Some French recipes call for nothing more than the addition of fresh
lemon and parsley.
When
you have a perfect ingredient less is actually more.

We ate fresh green beans often as kids, but we called then snap beans . I
can remember sitting with my MomMom under the big tree in our yard. We each had
a bowl of fresh "snap" beans in our laps snapping them in preparation
for dinner. Not only was it fun snapping the green beans I thought they tasted
great raw.
It's very
easy to tell if green beans are fresh. They will feel fleshy and firm. If you
see green beans that are limp and have a wrinkled appearance to them avoid them,
they're not fresh.
