Judías - ¿Qué son estas?

[bleitzow]

Hi all!

Have you heard of the word judías? I think it means beans or chili. Being near Mexico, I'm so used to hearing frijoles.

Thanks!

Off the top of my head, I think they're green beans, also known as ejotes. Or of course the word could refer to Jewish women.

Isnt ejotes corn?

[poli]

elote is corn.
judíias are string beans, cristianas are white beans, moras are black beans.
Judías is a term used in Spain. In some other countries habichuelas verdes is used for string beans.

ejotes must be a Mexico-specific word.
