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.

Russian Green Beans in Sour Cream & Tomato Sauce
This is a recipe that we attribute to The Best Foods of Russia by Sonia Uvezian. It's a tasty and delightful green bean dish unlike any other we've had. It was our first attempt at Russian cuisine and a success! We used regular fat sour cream but you can certainly substitute light.
