Care and Harvest

Aphids and mites are a common pest, but you can use our prevention and treatment tricks to keep pests at bay!

Harvest pods once they’re about 5 inches long and pencil-thick while still tender. Snip at individual stems. Most pods ripen at once, but regular harvesting encourages continued production.
Taste and Use

Enjoy Green Beans freshly picked, steamed, sauteed, boiled, baked, pickled, grilled, or even fried. To preserve optimal nutrition, consume Green Beans fresh or lightly steamed.
Origin

Beans originated in Peru and were spread throughout the Americas by migrating Native tribes. Beans were a staple in Native diets and were often grown alongside corn and squash with the cornstalks providing support to the climbing bean plants - known as three sisters planting. Christopher Columbus brought these New World beans back to Europe in the late 1400s. While early Green Beans were tough and stringy, plant breeders have made significant improvements to green bean flavor, texture, and growing properties since the late 1800s.
