A vendor at Eggsotics explains Asian long beans, which taste like green beans but tolerate heat better. Chop them into regular sections and cook like you would green beans. Find them at Hale Farmers Market Saturday 8:30 am to noon, or the farm stand Sunday 10 am to 2 pm.
What are you doing?
Bunching up some long bean bundles.
Long bean bundles? What are long beans?
Um, they're long and they're beans. They're Asian long beans.
And, and so why do you grow them now in the summer?
They do really well in the heat as opposed to any other bean.
Oh, and how do they taste?
Tastes just like beans. Green, green beans. Actually, I like these better than green beans.
And do you need a really giant pan to cook them?
No, you just chop them up into regular green bean sections.
Okay, so they're for customers who are allowed to have sharp objects?
Yes.
And where can they find those long beans?
I will have some available at the market this weekend and at the farm stand.
Okay, so it's at the Hale Farmers Market on Saturday morning, 8:30 to noon. And where else?
The farm stand on the farm will be open Sunday, 10 to 2.
Very good. Thank you very much. See See you at the farm stand.
