@lauw They are different types of beans. As I said, in Spain we don't have "frijoles", so we never use that word. We always say "alubias/judías/habichuelas" but just for our type of beans.

They are the same. These seeds have different names depending on the country. (These seeds have a lot of varieties)
Frijoles is more common said in Mexico.
Judías/alubias are more common said in Spain.
In my country we called them "porotos" and "frejoles"

In Spain we only have "judías" and "alubias", we never eat "frijoles".

And the "judía" is also called "habichuela" in Spain.

@-Alexia- So can the words judías and alubias always be used or does it depend on region, context?
I eat beans - Me como judías / alubias.
My wife has cooked beans with potatoes - Mi mujer ha cocinado judías / alubias.

@lauw This web page can help you to solve your doubts. I suggest reading in Spanish because "frijol", "judía" and "alubia" are translated into English as "beans"

There are many types of beans and they're called different in different countries but every Spanish-speaking person knows what frijol/judia/alubia means.
Maybe frijol is the most neutral and understandable word.

son diferentes nombres para la misma semilla en el caso de frijol es el término utilizado en América el término judía es el utilizado en España y en algunos lugares de América y alubia también es utilizado en España pero el término proviene del árabe

@lauw
En España no suele decirse frijoles pero por ejemplo en Asturias ( norte de España) se dice “fréjoles” a las vainas verdes de judías tiernas.
Algunas variedades que yo he cocinado:
Judías o alubias blancas, fabes asturianas (las más finas y mantecosas), judías pintas, judías rojas, judías negras, alubia canela, judía verde (vaina plana), judía inglesa (en Canarias se llama así a la vaina verde cilíndrica)... ¡y seguro que hay decenas que no conozco!

No hay diferencias, son lo mismo pero en latinoamericana se suele usar frijol y alubia; en España alubia, judía o habichuela.
Alubia, frijol, judía y habichuela son sinónimos.
