BEANS
Green beans, also known as snap beans, are not always green. There are yellow, deep purple, and even a purple-speckled variety called Dragon’s Tongue. Some snap beans change color after they are cooked. Dragon’s Tongue beans lose their purple speckles, and the deep purple beans turn green. Snap beans are rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, calcium, and potassium and retain more nutrients if cooked uncut.
