history of green beans
Green beans, also known as snap beans, string beans, or French beans, originated in the Andes in what is now Peru thousands of years ago. Indigenous tribes spread the seeds to other areas, and explorers brought them to North America and Europe in the late 1400s. Columbus brought green beans back to Europe from his second voyage to the New World in 1493.
Green beans are low in calories and high in fiber, vitamins A, C, and K, folic acid, and chlorophyll. They can be eaten raw, steamed, boiled, stir-fried, grilled, or baked. Green beans should be eaten the day they are picked.
There are more than 500 types of green beans available for cultivation, and not every cultivar is green. Some are purple, red, or even striated, although the bean inside will always be green. The two main types of green beans are bush and pole. Bush beans are 1-2 feet tall and don't need support, while pole beans can climb to around 10 feet tall. Bush-type beans are most often grown on commercial farms because they reach maturity and produce all of their fruit in a relatively short period, then cease to produce.
In some cultures, Native Americans planted green beans with corn and squash, a botanical trinity called the three sisters. Beans were planted when corn stalks were tall enough to support bean bushes, which in turn provided nitrogen for the corn.
