The pods of snap beans (green, yellow, and purple) are harvested when they are rapidly growing, fleshy, tender (not tough and stringy), and bright in color, and the seeds are small and underdeveloped (8 to 10 days after flowering).

[3] The vines have bright green trifoliolate leaves, which are roughly 2–7 cm long with smooth hairs on the underside. [6]
