Do you love fresh green beans? Learn how to freeze them properly.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Fresh green beans
  1. Step 1

    Select a fresh bean. To tell if a bean is fresh break it in half. If it snaps, that is a good sign of the bean' s freshness. A bright green color pod with no brown spots is another good indicator of how fresh the bean is.

  2. Step 2

    Cut the tops and bottom of the bean off with a knife or you can just snap it off with your hands. Wash the beans in cool water.

  3. Step 3

    Store the beans by putting them in a zipped top bag and freeze them raw. Some people like to boil the beans first before freezing them. This can be done too but you have to be careful that you don't over cook the beans before you freeze them.
