Dilly beans

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A jar of dilly beans

Dilly beans, or pickled green beans, are a means of preserving green beans.

Often flavored with dill, hence the name, common ingredients also include garlic, Tabasco sauce, and red pepper.[1] While they are made in kitchens all over the United States, they are particularly common in Vermont, where green beans are abundant.

Dilly beans were developed as a commercial product in 1958 by Sonya Hagna and Jacquelyn Park, who made them the subject of a well-known radio advertising campaign.[2] They became popular as a cocktail-hour snack in US in the 1960s.[3]
