Sitaw, String Beans

Description:

Green beans, also known as French beans (British English), string beans in the northeastern and western United States, snap beans or squeaky beans, are the unripe fruit of specific cultivated varieties of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). Phaseolus vulgaris, the green bean, kidney bean, or common bean, is an herbaceous annual plant in the Fabaceae (legume or bean family) that originated in Central and South America and is now cultivated in many parts of the world for its beans, which can be harvested and eaten immature, still in the edible pod, or when mature, shelled, and dried. Numerous cultivars of green beans have been developed, including string beans (Sitaw in Tagalog), stringless varieties (such as the slender French haricot varieties), and snap beans.
