Chinese Python Snake Bean

Unusual and delicious gourd relative that is referred to and used as a bean in its native China. Its fruit tastes much like green beans with a slight hint of cucumber, except even more delicious and tender. When harvested at 12-30 inches long, it can be used like green beans or summer squash. Traditionally stir-fried with peppers and onions, this vegetable has many culinary uses. Recipe inspiration in my cookbook.
