About Yellow string beans

Yellow string beans are immature edible pods of a yellow-podded bean, commonly called wax beans. The pods are slender, tender, and pale yellow, with small undeveloped seeds inside; their flavour is mild and bean-like, and the texture is crisp when fresh.

They are eaten cooked or, when tender, raw, and are commonly steamed, boiled, or sautéed. Fresh whole pods are the usual form, though they may also be sold canned or frozen. Maturity and processing affect their tenderness and moisture.
