French-cut green beans, also known as French-style green beans, are a specific cut and preparation style for green beans. These beans are not a different variety but rather a way of slicing or cutting regular green beans to achieve a particular shape and size.
French-cut green beans are prepared by slicing the green beans lengthwise into thin, long strips. This cutting style gives the beans a more elegant and delicate appearance, similar to French green beans or haricots verts. The sliced beans are typically more slender and uniform than regular green beans, with each piece resembling a thin strip.
The process of French-cutting green beans involves removing the stem ends and then either cutting them by hand or using a bean cutting tool that can quickly create thin strips.
