Organic Petite Whole Green Beans, Frozen
What it is
These are young, tender green beans that have been picked at their peak and flash-frozen to preserve their freshness and flavor. They are whole, meaning they have not been cut or snapped. The organic certification indicates they were grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. This product offers a convenient way to enjoy the taste and texture of fresh green beans year-round.
How people cook with it

To prepare, you can cook them directly from frozen. Boiling or steaming are common methods, typically taking about 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp. They can also be added to simmering soups or stews, or sautéed in a pan with a little oil and seasonings. For casseroles, they can be incorporated directly into the mixture before baking. Avoid overcooking to maintain their bright green color and pleasant texture.
