Hi,

How is the best way to freeze Runner & Broad Beans?

Assuming that they can be frozen OK that is.

Pick them, place into plastic bags, open freezer door, place bags in
freezer. Simple!


Absolutely!! Peas and beans are the easiest things to freeze, and they
are also some of the veg most unaffected by freezing - by that I mean
they taste as good from frozen as they do fresh.
Just be sure to freeze as quickly as possible after picking.
And *do not* blanch - dreaded word!
The only things I blanch before freezing are leafy veg, like swiss
chard or spinach.
