Yellow Wax Beans:  Yellow wax beans are a pale yellow almost translucent color. Place beans in a perforated plastic bag and store them in the refrigerator crisper. Although they will keep longer, up to 5 days, enjoy them within 2-3 days. Prepare as you would blue lake green beans.  For extra interest, mix blue lake and yellow wax beans together for a colorful dish.
