Can anyone recommend varieties of beans and sugar snap/mangetout peas that
are truly stringless?


Almost all modern bean varieties are stringless, unless left too long
before picking. No snap/mangetout pea that I have tried has been
entirely so (and that includes Oregon Sugar Pod), unless picked so
young that they haven't developed much flavour.
