How Do You Prepare Green Beans After Picking?
First, rinse the green beans under cold water. Then, prepare a large pot of boiling water and add salt. Blanch the beans in the boiling water for 2-3 minutes or until tender yet crisp. Drain the beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain the beans again and prepare them according to your recipe or store them in the fridge for later use.
