This is my favorite way to fix string beans. You can find them as the traditional green bean and also as the rare yellow string bean. I typically only see the yellow at the farmers markets, but was lucky enough to find them at the Whole Foods in Scottsdale. I'm not sure what, if there is any, the difference is between the two. I do know they taste a bit different. I think the yellow are less beany tasting, less vegetable tasting. I don't know how to describe the difference. I prefer the yellow, but seem to think the green might be better for me. Green beans are much easier to find so I will be sticking to those until some yellow beans pop up at this years farmer's markets.
