green beans
Long skinny legumes
Green beans are the young, edible pods of certain bean plants, harvested before the seeds inside fully develop.
They're eaten whole—pod and all—typically steamed, sautéed, or added to casseroles.
Also called string beans or snap beans, though modern varieties have been bred to eliminate the fibrous "string" that once ran along the seam.
