Green Beans or Haricot Verts
A green bean is a much thicker and slightly curved bean, while the haricot verts (pronounced “air-co-vairs”) are a thinner and straighter bean. They will have different cooking times because of the thickness.
You can read a little more on the differences between the two beans in this article Haricot Verts & Green Beans by Nature and More.
If you purchased fresh green beans you will cook around 7 minutes. If you purchased haricot verts you will cook for about 5 minutes.
