A popular vegetable, full of nutritional goodness, that contributes to your five-a-day. They are high in fibre and contain vitamin K which helps keep the body healthy. Can be used in dishes like stews as well as steamed and used in salads.
Fresh beans should be kept in the fridge in their original packaging.
Beans can be frozen in a sealed bag or container for up to 3 months.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
To freeze: All beans can be frozen! Raw or cooked, ensure beans are stored in a sealed container before freezing.
To defrost: When you take food or drink out of the freezer, it’s important to defrost it safely. Don’t defrost at room temperature.
Keep the ends you trim off beans and put them in sealed container in the freezer. Keep adding peels and ends of other vegetables too and then make a stock to use in recipes such as stews, currys and soups. Simply boil in water for about 20 minutes.
Leftover green beans are a great addition to stir fries, omelettes or salads.
Think about swapping fresh beans for frozen. Frozen foods last a long time in the freezer, you can use as much as you need when you need to and they can often be a cheaper option.
