Green beans

Broad beans
-
A real summer vegetable: the broad bean. It is a seed from a fairly large felt-like pod. Each pod has two to five seeds. Young large seeds are best. They are also very healthy. Fava beans are high in vitamins B and C if you don't overcook them. When buying fresh fava beans, make sure the pods are not limp. You can keep them in the fridge for two to three days. For 250 grams of beans on your plate, you need about a kilogram of pods. To get the fava beans out of the pod, put your thumbs on the convex side of the pod and push it open. After cooking, you can shell again and remove the stiff skin.
Snow peas
-
You may not expect it, but snow peas are the young pods of the pea plant. They are harvested very young, because then the skin is still young and tender and no skin has formed in the pod. The peas are then barely developed. When buying fresh snow peas, pay attention to the structure. They should be fresh green and have a crispy skin. You can keep them in the refrigerator for several days, preferably in a plastic bag with holes. You can cut the ends off before preparing. Some pods have threads along the edge that you can pull off.

Sugarsnaps
-
The sugar snaps are slowly gaining ground. They look a bit like snow peas, but are more rounded and taste sweeter. Actually they are not yet ripe when they are harvested. The seeds are still in the pod, but that just adds flavor. Sugar snaps should also be a nice green when you buy them. They will keep for about two days in the refrigerator. Like pods, you can cut off the top and remove the thread at the edge.

Haricot Verts
-
It is the straight, slender sister of the French string bean and green bean: the haricot verts. They are a bit weaker, less crunchy and darker in color than the green bean. Still, it is important to choose beans that are not weak and have a fresh green color when purchasing. Then you can keep them for at least another two to three days.
Peas
-
One pod of the pea plant yields about ten peas. They are freshly harvested; the sugar in the pea has not yet been converted into starch. That gives the nice sweet taste. Fresh peas are only available for a very short time. Only in the early summer. Buy very cool pods, which are visibly full of peas. Peas are best eaten as fresh as possible, preferably within two days of purchase. Open the pod by pressing the bottom of the pod with your thumbs until it pops open. You can then easily detach the peas and rinse with cold water. You need 500 grams of pods for 250 grams of peas.

Garter
-
It is the most exotic of this list. We know garter mainly from Suriname. It is a long, green pod that resembles a stretched green bean. In the tropics, garter can grow up to a meter long, the Dutch variant has to do with 14 to 25 centimeters. The taste is spicier than that of green beans. Garter contains folic acid, potassium, vitamins B1 and B6. Garter is best bought young, juicy and firm. It can be kept for several days in a cool place (not in the refrigerator). As with pods and sugar snaps, it is wise to remove the tips and pull off any stiff wearing. Count at least 250 to 325 grams of long beans per person to get 250 grams of vegetables per person.
