Tips
Great ideas for purchasing, storing, and consuming green beans.
- Look for bright, vibrant color and smooth, unblemished stems. Avoid beans that are wrinkled or discolored.
- Place them in a plastic bag in your refrigerator’s crisper drawer for up to a week (after that, they’ll start to dry out).
- If you’re planning on using the beans within a day or two from when you bought them, there is no need to refrigerate at all! Just keep them cool and dry until you cook with them.
- Steam, boil, or sauté your green beans to add some crunchy goodness to any meal.
- Try cooking them with some garlic and olive oil—they’ll take on a sweet flavor that pairs perfectly with your protein of choice.
