Boiled Dragon Beans - Allergy Free CookBook

Dragon beans are a tasty treat I found in the garden department of the local chain hardware store. They grow easily and bloom a beautiful deep purple. These purple beans have to be picked daily. Ones that seem tiny today will tomorrow be a foot long and white. The best time to pick them is when they are mottled with purple. Dragon beans need more cooking time than the average green bean, a full hour. Eating them raw, or semi raw, can cause an upset stomach. They can be washed, chopped, and frozen in 12 ounce freezer bags without cooking.
