Can you freeze fresh green beans?

I am not a freezer of fresh food specialist but I have had good luck freezing my garden grown beans but I blanch them first. Towel dry them and put in quality freezer ziplocks. You could always can them too!

Blanch them, dry them and put on a sheet tray in freezer. Bag them after frozen, easier to take out portions, put back in freezer.

You mean boil them for a minute first? What does that do?

ok I boiled them for 3 min, put them in ice water, dried them some and put into 2 freezer bags. Thank you so very much.

From About Food on blanching….

“Giving the green beans a quick blanching in boiling water before freezing them ensures that they will retain great texture and color when you get around to cooking with them.”

My dad used to freeze beans every year @Aster. As has been suggested, he blanched them and then froze them. They were fine (or as fine as green beans can be). Personally, since he always had a bumper crop of green beans and we then had green beans with EVERYTHING, they are one of my least favourite vegetables. The process works very well though.
