What it is
These are tender, young wax beans that have been carefully trimmed and cut into uniform pieces. Wax beans are a variety of green bean that have a waxy, smooth skin and a delicate flavor. They are typically yellow or pale green in color. The cutting ensures they are ready for quick cooking and easy serving. This product is a convenient way to enjoy fresh-tasting beans without the preparation time.
How people cook with it
These cut wax beans are a versatile addition to many meals. They can be prepared in a variety of ways to complement different dishes.
- Side dish for roasts
- Added to casseroles
- Tossed in pasta salads
- Mixed into stir-fries
To prepare, simply rinse the cut wax beans under cool water. They can be boiled for a few minutes until tender-crisp, or steamed for a similar result. For a richer flavor, sauté them in butter or olive oil with garlic and herbs. They also work well when added to simmering soups or stews during the last few minutes of cooking. Their uniform cut means they cook evenly and quickly, making them ideal for busy weeknights.
