Green beans are known by many common names, including French beans, [4] string beans (although most modern varieties are "stringless"), [4] and snap beans [4] or simply "snaps." [ 5 ] [ 6 ] In the Philippines, they are also known as "Baguio beans" or " habichuelas " to distinguish them from yardlong beans .
Some varieties develop a string along the pod; these are generally cultivated for dry beans, as green stringy beans are not commercially desirable. The beans are smooth, plump, kidney-shaped, up to 1.5 cm long, range widely in color and are often mottled in two or more colors. The beans maintain their germination capacity for up to 5 years.

The word 'bean', for the Old World vegetable, existed in Old English, [3] long before the New World genus Phaseolus was known in Europe. With the Columbian exchange of domestic plants between Europe and the Americas, use of the word was extended to pod-borne seeds of Phaseolus, such as the common bean and the runner bean, and the related genus Vigna.
It is a dry white bean that is smaller than many other types of white beans, and has an oval, slightly flattened shape. [3] It features in such dishes as baked beans, [3] various soups such as Senate bean soup, [8] and bean pies. The plants [4] that produce navy beans may be either of the bush type or vining type, depending on the cultivar. [9]
