French beans are smaller than common green beans and have a soft, velvety pod. Quite meaty for their size, only tiny seeds inhabit these delicate pods. French beans are sweet, tender and wonderfully crispy. Ideal for gourmet cooking, French beans can be prepared whole by themselves or in a variety of savory dishes. Enjoy them with almonds, garlic, tomatoes, or goat cheese. Tiny, tender, and bright green, they are the perfect compliment to roasted meats and pasta. Try French beans as a substitute for your favorite green bean recipe or simply blanched with butter and seasonings.
Ginger is the flavor of popular beverages like Ginger Ale and Ginger Beer. It is delicious in many savory dishes such as soups, curries and meats and is indispensable in the making of sweets such as Gingerbread, Gingersnaps and many spice cookies.
