Freezing Green Beans: Blanched vs. Unblanched Comparison & Taste Test

By letter2self on October 8, 2023



“Do I have to blanch green beans before freezing?” Since I’ve been growing green beans in my garden, I constantly find conflicting information about the best way to freeze them for later use. Some claim that green beans MUST be blanched first, while others say it’s not necessary. I decided to clear it up once and for all and do a true side-by-side comparison. Last summer when I froze my surplus beans, I blanched some and left some un-blanched. Now they’ve been sitting in the freezer for 6 months, and it’s time to find out which is the superior method.

Cooking them in the same steamer for the same amount of time and then taste-testing, the all-around winner became clear.
