If you have never eaten pickled green beans you are in for a real treat! Dilly beans are a crunchy, tart, salty, spicy, healthy, addicting snack. They are filled with flavor and make a great accompaniment to sandwiches, salads, or eaten on their own.

Pickled green beans can be found in grocery stores but they are pricey, starting at $7.99 and going up to $10.00 for a 12 ounce jar and they are never as good as homemade.

If you are making these for kids, you may want to use the smaller amount of spices. (Just don't leave out the red pepper flakes entirely.) The spicier version is intense! You could use fresh dill heads, but the dry dill seed works just fine, and takes up less space in the jar.

I planted free seeds from the library marked “romaine lettuce” and this grew. I know that it isn’t Romaine. Does anyone know what it is?
