Yellow beans

What is Yellow beans?

Yellow wax beans, a mild, sweet variety of French bean with a pale yellow pod, sold here by the kilogram. A more flexible quantity for smaller orders.

Blanched or steamed and served as a vibrant side, tossed into salads and stir-fries or finished in butter, offering a colourful alternative to green beans.

What's behind the price

UK produce moves through the wholesale markets — New Covent Garden and the regional markets — fed by British growers in season and by Spanish, Dutch and other imports out of season. That's why a case rate on yellow beans can shift week to week.

It's held pretty steady across the year. Buying what's in season is still the most reliable way to keep produce cost in check.

Seasonality in the UK

British summer to early autumn outdoors; imported beans extend availability across much of the year.

Per case or per kilo?

Produce is sold by the case, with a per-kilo rate shown where it helps you compare. Order on the unit that matches your prep so you're not throwing money out on shrink — perishables don't wait.

Buying by the kilogram suits kitchens needing smaller quantities; choose firm pods that snap cleanly and avoid any that are soft or marked, using within a few days of chilled storage.
