Bean storage tips

Succulent, fresh-picked green or yellow wax beans are big on taste and vitamins. Find them at Dentz Orchards and Berry Farm today.

After purchasing your green or yellow beans, store them on the kitchen counter with the stems on.
Once you remove the stems, keep them in a moisture-proof, airtight container in the refrigerator.
Beans will toughen over time even when stored properly, so use within a couple of days unless you plan to freeze them.
Beans can be kept fresh for approximately four days, or blanched and frozen immediately after picking.

Beans are a good source of vitamin-A, folic acid, vitamin-C and dietary fibre.
