For green shell, they are picked when the beans reach full size. They come in all colors from white to black, depending on cultivar. The green seeded cultivars, Green Seeded Henderson, Cangreen, Thorogreen will only have a faint green tint when green, Of course if you like them dry, just let the pods dry on the vine.
