French beans

French beans are defined as the unripe fruits of any kind of beans, especially common beans, the pods of which are known as string beans. Scientifically known as 'Phaseolus vulgaris', the other names by which they are commonly known are green beans, runner beans, climbing beans, wax beans, etc. Though they are typically referred to as string beans, many of their contemporary varieties no longer have fibrous strings that were once a common feature of the earlier varieties. The size of French beans is about four inches in length and have a slight point at both their ends. The color of the French beans is deep emerald and tiny seeds can be found within their pods.

French beans are a healthy option for many health conscious people as they are rich in many vital nutrients that are considered essential for the proper growth and metabolism of the body. (Source: www.wikipedia.org)
