Wikipedia
Green beans (American English), French beans or runner beans (British English) are the unripe fruit of any kind of bean, including the yardlong bean, the hyacinth bean, the winged bean, and especially the common bean (''Phaseolus vulgaris''), whose pods are also usually called string beans in the northeastern United States, but can also go by snap beans. In Vietnam, it is đậu cô ve or đậu tây (literally: Western bean). Green bean varieties have been bred especially for the fleshiness, flavor, or sweetness of their pods. ''Haricots verts'', French for "green beans," may refer to a longer, thinner type of green beans than the typical, American green beans. The first "stringless" bean was bred in 1894 by Calvin Keeney, called the "father of the stringless bean." Keeney worked in Le Roy, New York.''Taylor's guide to heirloom vegetables.''
