Very interesting, I didn’t know that it was even used as powder... Interesting! Can it be stored in the freezer? I love freezing vegetables and fruits...Does it need a separate method or just put it in the freezer and that's it?
I always try to freeze as many green beans as possible for the winter. Then I cook soups and cabbage soup with it, and add it to salads. This year I found a recipe for the marinade of these beans, I want to make a couple of rolls, I hope it turns out tasty and no less healthy!
I have nothing against most dishes using legumes, including the pleasure of eating green beans, for example, stewing them in tomato with carrots, onions and garlic. I hope this is a really healthy food, but I can’t say that this is my favorite dish.
