Gotcha. Are they any more prolific than green or purple types?
I'm thinking chickens...

they taste-you'd think they could come up with a more appetizing name

beans, too? Not just for salads? Tell me why I should plant and like
wax beans.


As far as cultivation, cooking, etc. they are identical in all ways to green green beans. They do lack a "green" taste. It's hard to describe unless you just cook them like regular green beans and taste them. Have you ever eaten the purple green beans (Purple Royalty for example)?? They taste MORE green than the green beans. Well, the wax beans just taste LESS green.

They are just a little different, that's all. Pleasantly so. When supper ends up being borccoli, spinach, slaw, with a garnish of parsley .... sometimes it's nice to have something NOT green on the plate.
