CVS Gold Emblem Cut Green Beans

Most CVS Pharmacies now regularly stock and sell several different types of canned CVS store brand vegetables, including canned cut green beans. During the past few months, I have purchased and consumed at least three cans of CVS Gold Emblem Cut Green Beans and a couple of hours ago, I purchased a can of them to eat with eggplant parmigiana tonight.

These green beans seem like a good product to review, so presented here, is an honest and objective product review of CVS Gold Emblem Cut Green Beans.

Size
The net weight of the standard - sized can of CVS Gold Emblem Cut Green Beans is 14.5 ounces. According to the product's nutrition facts label, the container holds 3.5 one half cup servings. As with many other products, this serving size seems small to me. Whenever I eat these green beans, one can usually supplies me with two servings.

Price
The regular retail price charged for one 14.5 ounce can of CVS Gold Emblem Cut Green Beans at Hartford, Connecticut area CVS Pharmacies is approximately $0.89c. This price is significantly lower than that of similar sized cans of name brand green beans.

Texture / Consistency
These cut green beans feature a soft yet firm texture that provides a very good mouth feel. The pleasing and unassuming texture of these beans makes them a great accompaniment to almost any type of main dish. In my humble opinion, CVS Gold Emblem Cut Green Beans are the ideal side dish to serve with pasta and Italian - style dishes, including lasagna.

Nutritional Facts
CVS Gold Emblem Cut Green Beans contain 30 calories, with 0 calories from fat, per 1/2 cup serving. These beans also 0 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams trans fat, 0 grams total fat, 0 mg of cholesterol, 380 mg of sodium, 110 mg of potassium, 5 grams total carbohydrates, 3 grams of dietary fiber, 1 gram of sugars and 1 gram of protein, per 1/2 cup serving.

Taste / Flavor
When it comes to flavor, CVS Gold Emblem Cut Green Beans taste just the way I would hope and expect cut green beans to taste. They feature a fresh and basic flavor that definitely qualifies as comfort food.

With a little bit of salt and pepper and butter or margarine, these green beans taste really good. Personally, I like to add some garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, pepper and vegetable oil spread to these beans, which makes them very tasty. On a flavor scale of one through ten, I would assign these green beans a rating of 9.5.

Packaging
CVS Gold Emblem Cut Green Beans are packaged in a regular style metal vegetable can. The front of the light green label features an illustration of the enclosed beans and the side and rear panels list all relevant ingredient and nutritional information, as well as a recipe. To open the can, the use of a can opener is required.

Overall Rating
All things considered, CVS Gold Emblem Cut Green Beans are quite tasty and well - textured. In this food writer's opinion, these green beans are just as good as name brand green beans, only much lower priced. Available at CVS Pharmacies everywhere, CVS Gold Emblem Cut Green Beans are highly recommended.
