How to Choose Delicious and Crisp Green Beans
- You should choose green beans that have green stems, look fresh, and do not have black spots or uneven colors.
- Good green beans will have a long, flat shape. If they are very bumpy, it means the beans inside are large and the beans are old, which will not taste good.
- Do not choose green beans that look too perfect, such as shiny, smooth, and evenly straight. This is likely because they have been sprayed with a lot of pesticides or growth hormones.
