Blanching fresh beans is an essential step prior to freezing, but it is also the method professional chefs use to prepare the beans for sauteing, stir frying, or using in salads. Blanching involves boiling the beans for a short time, then rapidly cooling them by placing them in chilled water. When done correctly, this process destroys the enzymes and bacteria in the green beans that will alter the flavor and color when frozen or if there is a delay before serving them. Read on to find out how to perform this process correctly.
