French cut frozen green beans

French-cut frozen green beans are green bean pods that have been carefully selected, cleaned, and cut into thin, elongated strips, following the "French-cut" style. This cut allows for quick and even cooking, making it ideal for stir-fries, side dishes, and salads.

The green bean is a very popular legume in Latin American and global cuisine, also known as fine bean, snap bean, or string bean, depending on the country of origin and region. Frozen green beans offer the advantage of maintaining their freshness, color, and nutritional properties for longer, making them easy to use any time of the year.

Originating in Central America and Mexico, green beans have been cultivated since pre-Columbian times and are an essential part of the traditional diet in many Spanish-speaking cultures. Their name in Spanish varies:

• Mexico and Central America: ejote
• Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay: chaucha or poroto verde
• Chile and Peru: poroto verde
• Colombia and Venezuela: judía verde or vainita

In terms of their properties, green beans are low in calories, rich in dietary fiber, vitamins (especially vitamin C and K), and minerals such as iron, magnesium, and potassium. They are ideal for a healthy and balanced diet, contributing to good digestion and strengthening the immune system.

In cooking recipes, French-cut frozen green beans can be steamed, sautéed with garlic and oil, added to stews, soups, stir-fries, or salads, providing texture, color, and a mild, fresh flavor. Thanks to their frozen and pre-cut presentation, they save preparation time and allow you to enjoy a quality ingredient at any time.
