Crop of the Month: Long Beans

Long beans are back in season for the summer! These lengthy beans are similar in texture and flavor to traditional green beans. They are best enjoyed cooked and can be stir-fried, steamed, roasted, braised, or sautéed. Using long beans is incredibly easy: simply cut them to the size needed for your recipe. Here are a few recipes to lend some culinary inspiration:
