Also known as yard-long beans, Chinese long beans, or asparagus beans, snake beans are the pods of a vigorous climbing annual plant widely grown in Southeast asia and southern China. The pods grow from 14 to 30 inches/35.5 to 76 centimeters in length and are dark green, crisp, tender, and nutty tasting. Typically the beans are cut into shorter lengths for vegetable dishes and salads
