Beans are a source of vegetable protein and fiber. To preserve their taste, aroma and beneficial properties, we suggest freezing them for the winter. It will take you about half an hour to prepare a kilogram of beans. You can prepare several servings at the same time. Once you try freezing rather than drying beans, you will never want to dry them again.
How to freeze beans at home - detailed instructions




Ingredients:
- beans
- water.





Remove the young beans from the pods, place in a colander or sieve, and rinse under cool running water.




Bring water to a boil, place the beans in it for three minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon. While the beans are cooking over high heat, prepare ice water. Pour cold water into a deep bowl and add enough ice.




Immediately place the beans from boiling water into ice water.




Place on paper towels or regular waffle towels. The main thing is that the towels do not leave lint. Dry for 10-15 minutes.




Then place into freezer bags. This needs to be done in portions. Don't take big bags. Place the packaged beans in the freezer and be sure to label the date when frozen so you can eat healthy and delicious frozen beans. Over time, they lose their taste.




Advice for those who decide to freeze young beans for the winter:
Beans, like all other foods that you will freeze for the winter, should be stored in portioned bags. One package at a time. There is no need to open them, take out half and reseal them.
Be sure to sign the freezing date. Frozen young beans are stored at a temperature of minus 18 for 10 months without losing their beneficial properties.
For storage it is best to use vacuum bags. If there are none, take regular ziplock bags and release as much air as possible. As a last resort, you can take plastic bags and tie them in a knot. But don’t forget, one package is one serving.
To remove as much air as possible from a ziplock bag, you can use a cocktail straw. Insert it, close the lock, suck out the air, remove the tube and seal the small hole.




Re-freezing beans is unacceptable.
Before cooking, do not defrost young beans; add them frozen 10 minutes before they are ready.
The same is possible. You just can’t get it out of boiling water with a slotted spoon. There you will have to drain the water through a sieve. Cook peas for 2 minutes.
