I made fresh green beans last night. They were a little bitter. It seems to me they should be very good at the beginning of November. They looked fine and I even tried to "string" a couple to see if they were excessively stringy (which sometimes even the "stringless" are) and snapped one - it was not limp and dry. Is there some way to tell in the store if they are going to be bitter? Do I have to taste a raw bean? Blah.
