A paler bean will be sweeter tasting and meatier than dark green long beans. Pale green long beans will be more tender than the dark green long beans. Dark green long beans will be stronger flavored and more firm than pale green long beans.

Long beans can be eaten raw or cooked. Sliced long beans can be added raw to salads similar to French haricots verts. Long beans can be steamed or sautéed as a side dish. They can be added to soups and stews.

Long beans are most flavorful thin and about 18 inches long. (Long beans referred to as yard-long beans will never reach a yard long.)  Seeds inside a long bean should not be fully developed; avoid beans that are bulging.  Long beans are dense and meaty; they are not crisp or juicy like green beans, and they are not a substitute for green beans). Avoid mature long beans that are yellow or whitish colored.  Avoid long beans that are limp.
