There are two parts to blanching: a quick boil in salted water, then a quick plunge in a bowl of ice water. The boiling does the cooking and the ice water stops the cooking so the beans don't become overcooked and mushy.

How to Store Green Beans. Green beans should be stored unwashed in the crisper drawer of your fridge. If they came in a bag, keep them in the bag when storing. If they came in a small berry box from the market, transfer them to a reusable storage or plastic bag before storing them in the fridge.

Whether you like them steamed, stir-fried, roasted or baked, green beans are an ideal legume to include in a well-balanced diet.

If you freeze green beans without blanching them first, the texture, color, and taste won't be quite as fresh when you defrost and eat them after long-term storage. They'll be good for a couple of months in the freezer, but quickly go downhill thereafter.

Place your green beans in a single, even layer so that the steam reaches all parts quickly. Cover the pot with the lid and keep the heat on high for about 3-4 minutes. Shock and dry the green beans how you typically would. Steam blanching, while a nice alternative to water blanching, is not as efficient.

Blanching green beans before freezing helps them to retain that beautiful green color and crisp texture when you go to enjoy them. Skipping this step might result in your beans having a mushy texture once defrosted.

My method for how to cook green beans is super simple! Here's how it goes: First, wash and trim the beans. Rinse them in a colander under cool running water, and snap off the stems.

Is it better to freeze green beans raw or cooked? ›

Are Green Beans Safe for Dogs? Chopped, steamed, raw, or canned—all types of green beans are safe for dogs to eat, as long as they are plain. Green beans themselves are not only safe for dogs, but veterinarians also recommend them as a healthy treat. Best of all, dogs seem to love them.

On a cooking note, regarding tough green beans, you may be undercooking them.

In summary, the safest way to eat green beans is usually cooked, but green beans can be eaten raw as well. Just be sure to wash them under running water before using them, as you would with any other produce. And because green beans contain lectins, eating them raw may result in tummy troubles.
