Though yardlong beans taste similar to green beans, their texture is distinct. Unlike green beans, which can taste palatable steamed or boiled, yardlong beans become waterlogged and bland when treated with water. The beans are best cooked with oil: sauteed, stir-fried, or deep-fried, their flavor intensifies and their texture remains tight and juicy. As such, these beans aren't exactly the diet vegetable of the summer, but they are extremely good to eat and their texture makes them worth seeking out.

Full-sized, stringless pods with immature beans delivered just as my grandma liked them. The name "Blue Lake" comes from a bean grown early in the 1900s for canning in the Blue Lake District near Ukiah, California. In the 1930s it was developed in Oregon for the commercial canning industry nationwide. By the early 1980´s, Blue Lake beans replaced the old fashioned Kentucky bean as the standard variety sold in US super markets.

This offer is for "snapbean" size (about 7in long, 7/8 in wide pod and barely-there bean). The white, half-runner pole beans (aka Mississippi Skip Bean) have the look of an Italian fava bean and the appeal of a Southern snapbean or stringbean (mild strings). This is a traditional North Georgia bean which can be eaten raw (tiny ones) in salads, added to soups or stews, sauteed, boiled plain or slow-cooked (on stove or in the oven) with ham hock, fatback, bacon grease, or whatever your grandma preferred. It's easily adaptable to a modern recipe as well. Good beans for freezing, canning and they are perfect for Sunday dinner prepared in a pressure-cooker.

Kale is so 2013. Cauliflower has had its day in the sun. The new vegetable that has people and Pinterest buzzing is chayote squash, pronounced "chah-yo-tay." Chayote squash is a good source of vitamin C, vitamin B-6, folate, dietary fiber, and potassium. Although it can be eaten raw and is sometimes shredded to put into salads and slaws, it's more often cooked. It's popular in Cajun, Hispanic, Indian and Filipino cuisines, but it's becoming increasingly common to see it in other cuisines as well as farmers markets and in the produce section of grocery stores.
