What You Should Know

Del Monte Harvest Selects Blue Lake Whole Green Beans are a classic pantry staple you’ll find in the canned-vegetable aisle, shelved with other canned veggies, soups and beans near the baking goods or alongside convenience sides. The 14.5 oz can—branded with Del Monte’s long-standing, family-friendly identity—reads as an affordable, reliable choice for home cooks who want a ready-to-use vegetable without the fuss. Occasions for purchase span quick weeknight sides, meal-prep Sundays, storm- or emergency-prep shopping lists, and large gatherings where canned sides or casseroles are common. The brand positions itself as mainstream and dependable, appealing to families, budget-minded shoppers, and cooks who value convenience and tradition; Del Monte signals heritage and kitchen practicality rather than artisanal or gourmet cachet. Labeling emphasizes simple, reassuring claims: non-GMO ingredients and a can lining produced without the intentional addition of BPA; there’s no organic certification and no child-focused gimmicks. From a processing perspective this is a commercially canned vegetable: the beans are cooked, sealed and shelf-stable, with only water and sea salt added. Sensory notes: drained, the beans are firm-tender with a mild green, vegetal flavor and a slightly softened snap; they reheats pleasantly in butter or steam and fold easily into casseroles, green-bean salads, or side-dish recipes. The ritual is familiar—open the can, drain or heat, season to taste—making them a quick bridge between fresh produce and convenience foods. Overall this product reads as wholesome and practical: minimally dressed, easy to store, and intended to simplify everyday cooking.

Processed Food

Why this score?

Canned whole green beans with water and sea salt are processed via industrial canning and heating but contain only the vegetable and simple additives, so they are classified as processed foods rather than ultra-processed.
