What You Should Know

You'll often find this on the canned or prepared-vegetable shelf at Whole Foods or reaching for it as an easy side for weeknight dinners and holiday meals. It feels wholesome and practical — simple green beans seasoned with expeller-pressed canola oil, cracked pepper and sea salt — and the ingredient list and preservation hint at basic processing (tender texture from cooking and oil/salt preservation) rather than heavy industrial reformulation.
