Green Bean

Green bean—also called snap bean or string bean—is the edible unripe pod of the common bean plant and is commonly eaten raw or cooked (steamed, sautéed, roasted) or added to salads, stir-fries, and casseroles. Users track green beans to log vegetable servings and portion sizes and to account for calories, carbohydrates, fiber, and sodium, which can vary by preparation (fresh, frozen, or canned), for more accurate nutrition records.
