what are these: pale yellow, look like green beans?
 

I had some veggies with my steak up at Carrows (the one at Western and
Westmont, between RPV and San Pedro, in case you're in the area). Green
beans, carrots, and yellow bean-things that looked like green beans but they
were a pale yellow. There weren't too many and they didn't seem carby, so I
ate a few. I'd like to find out what they are so that I can look them up in
the usda database. Thanks -- Mike

Might not be the same thing but I used to grow yellow beans here in UK.
They seem to be much like the green beans, just yellow:)

Hmmmm ... are you talking about wax beans?

OK, there we go. I found them based on your que. They're called Yellow
Beans. At 1g/oz, raw, they're the same as green beans.

As others have said, they're wax beans. You grow them and prepare them
exactly like green beans. You can also get purple beans, but those turn
green when you cook them. I get a mixed seed pack for my garden each
year, as the wax beans usually are ready to pick before the green and
purple beans are.

As others have posted, these are yellow or wax beans. In the summer, I love
to make a mixed bean salad with these, green beans, some kidney beans,
chopped onion and garlic, a little olive oil, and apple cider vinegar. Plus
salt 'n pepper. If you like this type of salad sweet, add a little of an
artificial sweetener of your choice. Not very carby, especially if you keep
the proportion of kidney beans low, and very refreshing and pretty. I like
red onion with this, mostly for the appearance.
