I want to freeze fresh green beans. How do I?
By Ron
Blanch the beans for three minutes. As soon as the blancing is done immediately give the beans an ice water bath to stop the cooking process. Pat beans dry, place in zip lock freezer bags and remove as much air from the freezer bags as possible because both patting dry and removing air help to reduce freezer burn.

Frozen green beans can be prepared in many ways. Choose the method and seasonings you like. This is a page about cooking frozen green beans.
Even if your green beans are fully cooked they can still be frozen for longer storage. These would be good to use in future stews, soups, or casseroles.
