About Green bean pod

A green bean pod is the immature, edible pod of a bean plant, harvested while the pod and enclosed seeds are still tender. It is typically green, elongated and crisp when raw, with a mild, grassy flavour; the pod is eaten along with its small developing beans.

Green bean pods are commonly steamed, boiled, sautéed or stir-fried, and are also sold frozen or canned. Fresh pods vary in length and thickness, and mature, dried beans are a different food form rather than a substitute for the tender pod.
