The green bean, a product from Murcia, presents itself as a vegetable with surprising characteristics: although its outward appearance may be deceiving, inside it behaves like a legume. This annual herbaceous plant is known for its climbing growth, where it supports itself on walls and appropriate structures. Green beans are ideal for both fresh and dried consumption, and their green color, which can vary in shades, adds visual appeal to any dish. Their flavor is mild and slightly sweet, making them a perfect complement for a multitude of culinary preparations. For storage, it is crucial to keep the beans in a perforated plastic bag in the less cold part of the refrigerator, prolonging their freshness for five to ten days. If freezing is desired, it is recommended to blanch them for three minutes beforehand. To preserve all their nutrients, steaming for just five minutes is sufficient. Among their multiple uses, their ease of preparation stands out; simply wash and trim the ends, and they can be cooked and served, for example, with potatoes and a good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil (AOVE). It is also possible to give them an innovative touch by dressing them with pesto and pine nuts.
