Del Monte Quality Cut Green Beans with Sea Salt
What it is
These are tender green beans that have been cut into bite-sized pieces. They are preserved in a can with added natural sea salt, which enhances their flavor. This product offers a convenient way to include vegetables in meals. The beans are already cooked and ready to be heated.
How people cook with it
Canned green beans are a versatile pantry staple. They can be quickly added to a variety of dishes.
- Side dish
- Casseroles
- Soups
- Salads
To prepare, simply drain the liquid from the can. You can then heat the green beans on the stovetop in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through, stirring occasionally. Alternatively, they can be heated in a microwave-safe dish. For casseroles or soups, add them directly to the dish during the last few minutes of cooking to heat them up. They can also be served chilled in salads.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to fresh green beans, canned beans are pre-cooked and have a softer texture. The addition of sea salt provides a subtle savory note that is different from the taste of unsalted canned beans or fresh beans that require seasoning.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for quick and easy vegetable options will find these useful.
How to keep the rest
Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place. After opening, transfer any unused beans to a separate container, cover, and refrigerate. Consume refrigerated leftovers within a few days.
