About Snipped french beans
Snipped beans are green beans and haricots verts with the stem ends already taken off, packed in tubs. Snipping is the definition of low-value, high-volume prep — it costs more in hands than the beans are worth — which is the only reason the cut line exists. The two lines are not the same vegetable: the French bean is the thin haricot vert, picked smaller and priced above the standard green bean, and it is bought when the bean is visible on the plate.
Buying notes
The two beans come in different case sizes, so compare per pound rather than per case. Snipped beans are cut wet and brown at the cut end, so they are blanched or cooked within days of delivery rather than held.
