How Do I Pick the Best Fresh Green Beans?

Garlic Parmesan green beans topped with grated cheese sit on a baking sheet, accompanied by two lemon slices for a zesty finish.

Green beans that are long and tender are best. They should be stiff, yet flexible and “snap” when they’re broken. Look for the bright green, plump fresh green beans. Green beans that you should avoid are the soggy, limp ones.
