How many people will a pound of French green beans feed?

A pound of French green beans will feed approximately 4-6 people as a side dish.

This is assuming:

* Average portion size: About 1/2 cup cooked green beans per person.

* Cooking method: Boiling or steaming, which results in some shrinkage.

Factors that can affect the serving size:

* Appetite: People with larger appetites may need more.

* Other dishes: If serving with other vegetables, the portion size can be smaller.

* Cooking method: Roasting or sautéing can result in more shrinkage.

Tip: If you're unsure, it's always better to err on the side of having slightly more than you need. Leftovers can be enjoyed later!
