| | Green Beans are unripe beans in an edible pod. They need to be cooked since they are too hard to eat in their raw state. Most commonly, green beans are boiled, but they can also be braised or steamed. Green beans are also called French beans, string beans and snap beans.
When purchasing green beans, you want them to snap distinctly when snapped in half, indicating freshness. Green beans are sold fresh, frozen and canned.
