Green beans originated in Central and South America and spread through North America by migrating Native Indians. Green beans are young, unripe fruits of various cultivars of the common bean yet distinguished from other varieties in that the green beans are harvested and consumed with their enclosing pods, before the bean seeds mature.

Green beans are a staple in our home and often eaten raw, fried with a bit of olive oil, garlic, salt and our Bacon n' Pepper or during the holidays in a casserole. Many boil their green beans but we prefer the crunch of a slightly fried green bean and our Boreal Pepper only makes it better.

This is a quick and easy recipe made on the stove top. Although fried, no breading necessary as the Bacon n' Pepper highlights the beans.
