| Jan 29, 2018 at 14:20 | comment | added | aparente001 | @walen - When I eat a green bean (ejote is also how I think of it), I eat the pod plus its contents. (By the way, to my mind, this is the key difference between a grean bean and a green pea: with the exception of sugar snap peas and [Chinese] snow peas, fresh peas are eaten without the casing, or pod, no matter how young you harvest them.) | |

| Jan 29, 2018 at 14:10 | comment | added | aparente001 | @mdewey - I sometimes plant something called in the US "Italian green bean." The pods are flatter and less round than the picture I posted in the question. Example: burpee.com/vegetables/beans/…. But if I harvest it green I would still call it "ejote" (in Mexican Spanish). Look, I'm trying to avoid getting into a lot of sub-cases here, and just get a world-wide overview that can be taken in at a glance. I want to keep it simple and elicit the localized words for the green young thing where you eat the whole case plus its contents, ... | |
| Jan 29, 2018 at 14:05 | comment | added | aparente001 | @walen - my intention is to find names for the picture I posted, which in US English is called "green bean." The second image you posted isn't what I'm looking for. I hope that helps. | |

Made English more idiomatic in title

When I grow green beans in my garden, I harvest them as shown in the image I included in the question. I pick them when they are tiernos. Each pod contains a number if tiny future seeds. I cook them briefly in boiling water and stop the cooking with cold water. I eat the tiny future seeds along with the pods. My mother-in-law, on the other hand, waits to harvest until they're bigger (but the future seeds are still green) and then she boils them to death. (To each his own.) | |
