Beans
Storage Information
Green beans don't like to be stored wet. They will mold quickly - even in the refrigerator. Store in a plastic bag for up to one week. If there is condensation in the bag, leave it open for a few hours in your refrigerator until the condensation evaporates, but don't leave it open for too long or the beans will go limp.
Cooking Suggestions
Lightly steamed so they are still crunchy but bright in color - between 5-10 minutes.
If using cold, steam less time and plunge in cold water immediately to retain crispness.
