French beans are slender, elongated pods that are typically green in color, though there are also purple and yellow varieties available. The pods contain small seeds and are harvested while still immature, before the seeds fully develop. French beans are rich in vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber, making them a healthy addition to any diet.
Even though Spanish and Portuguese travellers brought this to Europe, it came to be known as the French bean!
French beans, sometimes known as green beans, are sold fresh, canned, and frozen all over the world. Raw, steamed, boiled, stir-fried, or baked are all options. Soups, stews, and casseroles are just a few of the ways they’re used. Green beans, like cucumbers, can also be pickled.
