Whether you refer to this produce as a green bean, snap bean, or French bean, they are an essential product for the home. Did you know that green beans are actually harvested when they are immature? This allows the pods to be snapped crisply in half & the peas to remain soft. If harvested when matured, the beans would be characterized as hard beans.
