Key Points
   

For the best buy, choose firm crisp green beans.

To prepare fresh beans, rinse and remove ends before eating.

To store fresh green beans, put in a loosely closed plastic bag and store in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.

Green beans contain vitamin A, which is good for healthy eyes and skin.

Easy Additions

Add green beans to a soup, stew or stir fry!

Chop fresh green beans and add them to a tossed salad for some crunch!

Cook in frying pan with garlic and small amount of olive oil for a tasty side dish.

Remember to rinse all fruits and vegetables before using.
