What it is

Yellow wax beans are a variety of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) that are yellow or greenish-yellow in color. They are a type of green bean, but instead of a round pod, they have a flatter, wider pod. Like other beans, they grow on a plant and are harvested for their edible pods.

Why it's used

Yellow wax beans are typically used as a vegetable side dish, either fresh, frozen, or canned. Manufacturers may include them in packaged vegetable mixes, canned bean salads, or as a component in ready-to-eat meals. They offer a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a tender texture.

Health notes

Yellow wax beans are a source of dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They are not subject to specific FDA regulations as a food additive. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar common beans, and they are generally recognized as safe for consumption. There are no widespread health controversies associated with consuming yellow wax beans at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Yellow wax beans are not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
