We all know what a green bean is, but what happens when a recipe calls for snap beans, string beans, wax beans or haricot vert? They are all the same beans, except for the wax bean, which is yellow.

Southern recipes often omit the “bean” such as “Snaps and Bacon.”

Slender beans crisp and unblemished are the best. They store in a plastic bag for up to 5 days in the vegetable crisper.
