Once again, it's coming to the season of busily freezing excess runners.
I've always blanched them, but I've read recently that there is no need to
blanch. Has anyone any experience of blanched versus unblanched? I'm not
even sure of the reason for blanching.

I freeze huge quanities of therm as I love them and have runner or french
beans every day, yummy. I have never in my life blanched them. I also freeze
other stuff without blanching, including tomatoes.
