Default Curly beans

Could anyone please tell me why some of my french beans are growing
curly?


Do you mean curly or just curved or bent?

Half or more of mine are curved, some like a horseshoe. I don't know the
reason but in the 3 years I have grown them they have been like it. They
all taste the same.

I watched something on iplayer recently about carbon footprinting and
French beans grown in Kenya. They reject anything that is not straight
because Asda, who they supply to, demand all French beans are straight. The
consumer obviously demands this too. Why? No idea. What a waste.
