EN: green beans, string beans
The OG healthy-ish sidekick in your sinigang or ginisa. It's that long, green veggie that gives a satisfying crunch, often mistaken for Baguio beans, but who's really checking? It’s the vegetable you buy from the suking tindera sa palengke.
From Spanish 'habichuela' (bean).
'Abitswelas' and 'Baguio beans' are often used interchangeably in the Philippines, although they can refer to slightly different varieties.
