My gf grows these in our garden. They do turn green when cooked, they also turn the water you boil them in blue.

Looks like the Scarlet Emperor Pole Beans that I grew last year. Not the tastiest but by far the prettiest bean I've ever grown.

I bought the seeds at pine tree, they call them Purple Pod Pole Bean.

Beans!!

Chinese long beans?
