What it is
These are fresh green beans that have been coated in a seasoned batter. The batter is designed to become crispy when cooked. They are typically found in the frozen section of a grocery store. The green beans inside are whole or cut into manageable pieces, ready for preparation. The batter provides a savory flavor and a satisfying texture to the familiar vegetable.
