Libby's French Style Green Beans start as fresh plump, firm pods and then are sliced length-wise or julienne-style for a classic look and deliciously mild, subtly sweet flavor and crisp-tender texture.

Libby's French Style Green Beans are part of a Healthy Lifestyle, a No Fat food, No Added Sugar. Seasoned to perfection! Farm-to-Table: Libby's French Style Green Beans are cultivated in the U.S. heartland by multi-generational, U.S. farmers on family-owned farms located primarily in Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, New York and Wisconsin. This is the prime growing region for Green Beans with its fertile soil and ideal combination of sun and rain fall. Once harvested our green beans travel just miles and are prepared in state-of-the art, FDA inspected facilities within hours of being picked! Libby's Green Beans are seasonally grown and harvested fresh at the peak of ripeness and then prepared within hours just miles from where they are grown! "Seasonally grown" means that every year, typically in late April-May, we plant our Green Beans and then let them grow for just a few months until June when the initial harvest begins. Green Beans have a relatively long season compared to our peas. In a normal year all of our Green Beans are harvested and prepared, sealing in their delicious flavor and tender-crisp texture by September!
