How to pick it

Choose bright green, crisp pods that snap; skip any that look dry or bumpy.

How to keep it

Refrigerate in a bag and use within a few days, while they are sweet.

Months are when each item is usually at its best across much of the US. Seasons start earlier in warm places and later in cool ones, and they shift from year to year, so your local farm stand or market is the best guide.
