Even though Spanish and Portuguese travellers brought this to Europe, it came to be known as the French bean!

French beans, sometimes known as green beans, are sold fresh, canned, and frozen all over the world. Raw, steamed, boiled, stir-fried, or baked are all options. Soups, stews, and casseroles are just a few of the ways they’re used. Green beans, like cucumbers, can also be pickled.
