Comments
Personally, I like to add green beans to various salads or simply eat them fried in olive oil.
I wash green beans at the stage of milk maturity, dry them, trim the ends and cut them into 3-4 pieces. I freeze it in portions this way. But to prepare dishes, I take out the frozen food and straight from the bag into boiling water or into a frying pan, depending on the dish. It turns out very quickly and the maximum amount of vitamins is preserved.
