I could get the fresh ones in NY, seemingly all the time and here on occasion. Alas, I'm the only one who likes them. Daughter will only eat canned green beans. They were one of her first foods and still a favorite. I made fresh green beans tonight because I had them in my produce box. I knew she wouldn't eat them. |

They are really tasty that way. -- Best Regards, Evelyn |

Less carbs. A neighbour has got a glut of purple French beans at the moment (yaaay!), which go wonderfully in a similar recipe, which I serve hot. Amazingly, they go green when cooked, then start to turn back to purple if cooled! Magic beans : ) Nicky. T2 dx 05/04 + underactive thyroid D&E, 100ug thyroxine Last A1c 5.6% BMI 25 |

After doing nothing all summer, the spaghetti squash has exploded! At last count, there were 17 little squashes growing, and loads more flowers! I can see me making myself less than popular with all the neighbours who are currently keeping me supplied with purple beans and yellow zucchini : ) Nicky.

Magic beans : ) I didn't know they'd go back to purple when cool. We bought some a couple of years ago and Angela was sooo upset when they turned green. Next time I get them, I will cool them. |

Next time I > get them, I will cool them. Maybe some varieties of purple beans revert to purple when they cool. But the ones I grow in my garden certainly don't. I planted from a mix, so I have yellow, purple, and green. The yellow ones stay yellow when cooked (and cooled). The purple ones go green. When they cool, they look *slightly* different from the green ones, but it's just two shades of green. -- AF "Non Sequitur U has a really, really lousy debate team." --artyw raises the bar on rec.sport.baseball |
