How people cook with it
These versatile green beans can be prepared in many ways, making them a flexible addition to your cooking routine.
- Steamed as a side dish
- Added to casseroles

- Sautéed with garlic
To prepare Weis Cut Green Beans, you can start by rinsing them under cool water. They can be steamed until tender-crisp, which usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Alternatively, they can be blanched in boiling water for a few minutes before being added to other dishes. For a quick sauté, heat a little oil or butter in a pan and cook the beans with your favorite seasonings, such as garlic, salt, and pepper, until they reach your desired tenderness. They are also excellent when roasted in the oven.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike whole green beans, these are pre-cut, saving you the time and effort of trimming and chopping. This makes them ideal for busy cooks or when you need to prepare a meal quickly. The uniform size of the cuts also ensures more even cooking.
Who it is for
Home cooks who want to easily incorporate fresh vegetables into their meals.
How to keep the rest
To keep the rest of your Weis Cut Green Beans fresh, store them unwashed in their original packaging or a breathable container in the refrigerator. It is best to use them within a few days of purchase for optimal flavor and texture. Avoid storing them in a sealed plastic bag, as this can trap moisture and lead to spoilage.
