'''Green beans''' are the unripe [[fruit]]s of any kind of [[bean]], including the [[yardlong bean]], the [[hyacinth bean]], the [[pea]], the [[winged bean]], the [[carper (vellum) bean]], and especially the [[common bean]] (''Phaseolus vulgaris''), whose pods are also called '''string beans''' or '''snap beans'''. Varieties have been bred especially for the fleshiness, flavor, or sweetness of their pods. Smaller bean pods are often referred to by the French name ''haricots verts''.

Green beans are of nearly universal distribution. They are marketed canned, frozen and fresh. A dish with green beans popular in the United States, particularly at [[Thanksgiving]], is [[green bean casserole]]. Some restaurants serve green beans that are [[batter (cooking)|battered]] and [[frying|fried]], which greatly reduces the amount of vitamins and minerals that make the green bean a healthy choice. Green beans are also sold dried and fried with other vegetables (carrots, radishes).
