Beans originated in Central America. They were grown in the western hemisphere before Columbus started his explorations. When the Americas were discovered, climbing beans were found planted with corn.

Best to at least blanch the fresh green beans for 10-15 minutes before making the green bean casserole. I have always had better luck that way. Most people make it with canned beans. Cooking the fresh green beans may have made a difference but blanching is best.

Description
"Bean" refers to the fruit, the pod and the seeds. From 8 to 20 cm long, green, yellow or striped with red, the pod holds 4 to 12 seeds.
The green bean was born in the hot regions of the Americas, India and China. It was introduced to France by the Conquistadors about 1597. For a long time rare and expensive, this vegetable became widespread only in the 19th century. The first to put green beans on their menus were the French. Digestible, low in calories and filled with vitamins, green beans are the darlings of women who are keeping an eye on their figure!
There are different varieties of green beans: string beans (the classic variety), snap beans, butter beans… Green beans are categorized according to size:
Very thin: maximum width under 6 mm
Thin: maximum width between 6 and 9 mm
Medium: maximum width above 9 mm
