runner bean
Scarlet-flowered legume
Runner bean is a climbing bean plant grown for its long, flat green pods, which are eaten as a vegetable.
Common in British gardens and cuisine, runner beans are typically sliced and cooked rather than eaten raw: We had runner beans from the garden with Sunday roast.
Americans more often call similar varieties string beans or pole beans.
