WHAT DOES SHELL BEAN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

shell bean

Phaseolus vulgaris

Phaseolus vulgaris, the common bean, string bean, field bean, flageolet bean, French bean, garden bean, haricot bean, pop bean, or snap bean, is a herbaceous annual plant grown worldwide for its edible fruit, either the dry seed or the unripe fruit, both of which are referred to as beans. The leaf is also occasionally used as a vegetable, and the straw can be used for fodder. Along with other species of the bean genus, it is classified botanically into the legume family, most of whose members acquire nitrogen through an association with rhizobia, a species of nitrogen-fixing bacteria. The common bean is a highly variable species with a long history of cultivation. All of the wild members of the species have a climbing habit, but there are many cultivars, classified as bush beans, or pole beans depending on their style of growth. These include the kidney bean, the navy bean, the pinto bean, and the wax bean. The other major types of commercially-grown bean are the runner bean and the broad bean.
