There’s more to beans than green!

Friday, August 29th, 2008

When I was growing up, my Mom made string beans–alot.  I hated them.  I liked the little bean inside, but I hate the pod.  I hated the way it felt on my teeth.  It was gross!

As I aged, I learned there were so many beans out there.  I found that I loved Kidney, Pinto, and Lima beans.  I added Navy Beans to the mix.  I’ve tried quite a few and found that I like most.

Now I’ve figured out that all string beans aren’t green!  There’s yellow beans and purple beans.  Each has it’s own texture and flavor.

I can eat green beans now as long as they are mixed with something else.  But, I much prefer the other beans.
