Del Monte Harvest Selects Green & Wax Bean Blend
What it is
This product is a canned blend of two types of green beans: standard green beans and yellow wax beans. They are typically packed in water or a light brine. The beans are pre-cooked during the canning process, making them convenient for quick meal preparation. This blend offers a visual and textural variety compared to using a single type of bean.
How people cook with it
This canned bean blend is a versatile ingredient that can be quickly added to various dishes.
- Side dish
- Casserole addition
- Soup ingredient
- Salad topping
To prepare, simply drain the liquid from the can. The beans can be heated through on the stovetop with a little butter or oil, or they can be added directly to dishes that are already cooking. For a quick side, sauté them with garlic and herbs. They are also excellent stirred into casseroles, stews, or hearty soups to add vegetable content and texture. For a cold preparation, rinse them well and add them to pasta salads or green salads.
How it differs from similar foods
This blend differs from individual cans of green beans or wax beans by offering both types together. The wax beans have a slightly milder flavor and a softer texture than standard green beans, providing a different eating experience within the same can.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient way to add a mix of beans to their meals.
