Green Beans (also known as French beans or string beans) are technically a legume, but are commonly enjoyed as a green vegetable. A versatile staple, Green Beans can be steamed or sautéed to serve as a side dish – try adding lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and/or toasted slivered almonds – and added to curries, stews, and soups like minestrone.
