Also means
Jewish woman
Usage Note
Judía has two completely distinct meanings depending on context: a green bean or dried bean (judía verde, judía blanca) in Spain, and a Jewish woman. In Latin America the vegetable sense is usually expressed as frijol, poroto, or habichuela instead. Context makes the meaning clear, but learners should be aware of both.
Examples
"La sopa lleva judías blancas y chorizo."
Natural Translation
The soup has white beans and chorizo.
