Judías - ¿Qué son estas?

Judías - ¿Qué son estas?
 

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! :rolleyes:

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.

Botanic:
judía verde : green bean, string bean
Judia seca: bean
Folk:
judía: Jewish woman
tradición judía: Jewish tradition
greetings :D

Isnt ejotes corn?

ejote
 

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. :)
