These French cut green beans are sold frozen and are typically blanched prior to freezing to lock in nutrients and color. The slim, short-cut pieces cook quickly, making them ideal for steaming, sautéing with garlic and butter, or adding to casseroles, soups, and vegetable medleys. With a long freezer shelf life, they are convenient for meal planning and batch cooking. Thawing is optional for many recipes; they can be added directly to hot pans or boiling water until heated through.
