In this week’s Market Report, we talk to Mao Lee at the Midtown Farmers Market to find out what’s new at her stand. She also offers tips on how to pick and prepare green beans. [Audio below]
Quick tips from Mao Lee:
- To pick out the best beans, size isn’t as important as freshness. How to tell if a bean is fresh? If it bends like licorice, it’s old. If it snaps in half, it’s fresh.
- One way to prepare green beans is fry them with a little garlic and add lemon. They can be served on their own or with potatoes or rice.
