Beans--Green snap

Green beans, also known as string beans, or snap beans in the northeastern and western United States, are the unripe fruit and protective pods of variouscultivars of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris).[1][2]
They are distinguished from the many differing varieties of beans primarily grown for their dried seeds in that green beans are harvested and consumed with their enclosing pods, typically before the seeds inside have fully matured. This practice is analogous to the harvesting of unripened snow pea pods or sugar snap peas of the pea family of plants. Popular green bean cultivars have been selected especially for the fleshiness, flavor, or sweetness of their pods.
Haricots vertsFrench for "green beans" (also known as French beansFrench green beansFrench filet beans, or fine beans (British English)) is a variety of green beans that is longer, thinner, crisper, and more tender than "standard" green beans.[citation needed] It is different from the haricot bean, which is sold as a dried seed.
