Yardlong beans, also known as asparagus beans or snake beans, are a variety of cowpea with exceptionally long, thin pods. These beans are native to South Asia but are now cultivated in many parts of the world. The pods can grow up to three feet long, though they're typically harvested while still young and tender. They have a delicate flavor and a slightly crunchy texture. Yardlong beans are often used in stir-fries, soups, and salads. They can also be cooked and frozen for later use. Unlike snap beans, yardlong beans don't require shelling as they have no stringy interior.
