wax beans
Pale string beans
Wax beans are a variety of green bean with a pale yellow or cream-colored pod instead of the usual green.
The name comes from their waxy, slightly translucent appearance.
They taste similar to green beans and are prepared the same way—steamed, sautéed, or added to salads: a side of buttered wax beans.
