Woodstock Organic Baby French Beans, Frozen
What it is
These are tender, young green beans that have been harvested and flash-frozen to preserve their fresh flavor and texture. They are a convenient way to add a healthy vegetable to meals without the need for fresh preparation. The beans are typically small and slender, making them ideal for quick cooking and easy eating.
How people cook with it
Frozen baby french beans are a versatile ingredient that can be incorporated into a wide variety of dishes. They are perfect for weeknight meals when time is limited.
- Steamed as a side dish
- Tossed into pasta salads
- Added to stir-fries
- Blended into soups
To prepare, simply remove the desired amount from the freezer. You can steam them directly from frozen until tender-crisp, usually about 5-7 minutes. Alternatively, they can be added to sauté pans with a little oil and seasonings, or tossed into simmering sauces and stews. For a quick side, blanch them in boiling water for a few minutes, then shock in ice water before serving with butter or a light vinaigrette. They also work well when roasted at a high temperature until slightly charred.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh green beans, these frozen baby french beans require no washing or trimming. Their small size means they cook very quickly and tend to maintain a more consistent texture throughout. They offer a convenience that fresh beans cannot match, especially when you need a quick vegetable option.

How to keep the rest
