Why Are They Called French Style Green Beans?
French style green beans are called so because they are prepared by slicing the beans lengthwise into thin strips which are also known as “Haricot Verts.” This method of preparation is common in French cuisine, hence the name “French style.” It is also a popular way of serving green beans in North America. The French style preparation gives the beans a delicate texture and a distinctive taste, making them a popular side dish in many countries.
