Green Bean is a Spring vegetable that climbs a trellis and keeps producing after its first harvest. One Bean Starter bought on the first of Spring gives beans every few days until Summer. That makes it one of the steadiest earners Pierre sells in the first Spring, behind only Cauliflower among his day-one crops. Green Beans are required for the Spring Crops Bundle, and two of them make Bean Hotpot. Most villagers like them as a gift.

The in-game description reads: A juicy little bean with a cool, crisp snap.

Growing

Green Bean grows through five stages before its first harvest. After that, the vine regrows and gives a new bean every three days for the rest of Spring. The same vine keeps producing all season.

A Bean Starter planted on the first of Spring gives six harvests before Summer. One more regrowth would land just after the season ends, so a late start costs harvests.

The vine grows on a trellis and cannot be walked through at any stage. A field of Green Beans needs walking lanes between the rows. Dead vines can be walked through at the end of the season.

Pierre's General Store sells Bean Starters in Spring. JojaMart sells them at a higher price. A Seed Maker turns harvested beans into more starters.

For Green Beans, Speed-Gro and the Agriculturist profession cut only the first growth. The three-day regrowth stays the same. Deluxe Fertilizer is the only way to grow iridium beans.

Green Beans keep producing all year in the Greenhouse and on Ginger Island.

Prices

Each bean sells for little, but one starter covers six harvests. Over a whole Spring, a single starter returns about four times its price. Parsnips and Garlic need a new seed after every harvest, while Green Beans need only one purchase.

The Tiller profession adds ten percent to the raw price.

As a vegetable, Green Beans become Juice in a Keg or Pickles in a Preserves Jar. For a crop this cheap, Pickles are the better choice. They sell for more than three times the raw bean, while juice only doubles it. The Artisan profession adds forty percent to both.

Sell prices by quality, with the bonus from each profession.

Uses

The Spring Crops Bundle in the Pantry needs one Green Bean. With the Remixed Bundles, five gold-quality Green Beans may be an option for the Quality Crops Bundle. Six harvests from each vine give plenty of chances at gold quality.

Cooking two Green Beans makes Bean Hotpot. Clint mails the recipe at seven hearts of friendship. The dish raises maximum energy and gives a big Magnetism boost, which pulls items in from further away. That helps on mining trips, where loot scatters across the floor.

Green Beans may appear as a Spring request on the Help Wanted board outside Pierre's General Store. Handing over the beans earns three times their value and some friendship with the villager who asked.

In tailoring, Green Beans in the Sewing Machine with Cloth make a dyeable Shirt And Belt. They also give a green colour in the Sewing Machine and fit the green dye pot in Emily and Haley's house.

Gifts

Green Bean is a liked gift for most of the valley. Green Bean is a welcome gift for the older residents Caroline, Demetrius, Evelyn, George, Jodi, Kent, Lewis, Linus and Pam. The Dwarf, Krobus, Sandy and the Wizard like it as well, as does Leo. The same goes for the shop owners Clint, Gus, Marnie, Pierre, Robin and Willy, and for the bachelors and bachelorettes Alex, Elliott, Emily, Harvey, Leah, Maru, Penny, Sebastian and Shane.

Abigail, Haley, Jas, Sam and Vincent dislike it.

A small row of vines gives a steady supply of cheap liked gifts all Spring.

Notes

Plant Green Beans on the first of Spring alongside Cauliflower and Potatoes. One planting lasts the whole season, which frees up time for foraging and the mines in the first weeks.

Keep two beans from each early harvest for Bean Hotpot once Clint's friendship is high enough.
