Green, yellow and purple string beans
The harvest this year is great. The amazing green pole beans could have climbed to the heavens had I let them and all are bearing so well. If you haven’t tried the purple ones, they do taste great but when you cook them they become green like regular stringbeans. The yellow ones, or wax beans, are very slightly different in taste from the green ones. All are delicious!
Remember, when storing string beans in the fridge, do not put extra water in the plastic bag, as they will get a yucky brown rust on them. Keep them fairly dry and they will keep a lot better. If you can keep them that long. I love them raw as well as steamed with butter, lemon juice and a dash of Spike seasoning. Yum!
Purple, yellow (wax) and green stringbeans just picked

The purple ones have the most amazing texture!! I love seeing the harvest! I put beans in salads, much to my daughters’ disgust…
Love these colours together. I have not seen purple beans before.
only know and have eaten the green ones; thanks for sharing
much love…
I’ve never seen a purple and yellow string beans being sold here!
I love string beans… I have never purple ones before though
