After a few months, we&#8217;d exhausted all of our green bean recipes,\u00a0 so we started experimenting with Romano beans.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Romano bean is also known also as the Italian flat bean (since it&#8217;s flatter in shape and broader in dimension than the regular green bean).\u00a0 Romano beans cook quickly and are more tender than other beans.\u00a0 They are meant to be eaten whole, pod and all, and may be green or purple, depending on regional varieties. To ensure freshness, look for crisp beans which snap easily.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<div id=\"zlrecipe-container-12\" class=\"zlrecipe-container-border\" >\n<div id=\"zlrecipe-container\" class=\"serif zlrecipe\">\n  <div class=\"recipeRating\"><div id=\"post-ratings-409\" class=\"post-ratings\" data-nonce=\"366a9fe719\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_409_1\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/asweetlife.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/asweetlife_stars\/rating_on.gif\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(409, 1, '');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(3.6, 4, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer;
