Where have these bean all our lives? Snappy and vibrant pickled string beans are captured and preserved at the peak of summer freshness. And the brine is blessedly simple — made from vinegar, cane sugar, garlic, salt, and spices — it really allows the seasonal beans to shine. The makers began pickling during Covid, in an attempt to help small farmers struggling to find places to sell fresh produce. The forward-thinking provisions make commonplace pickles absolutely green with envy.
Tip of the Tongue:
Pickled beans make a great base for the beloved Southern condiment known as chow-chow. Simply combine with whole grain mustard, chopped tomato (green, if ya got it!), corn off the cob, and some thinly sliced pickled onion.
