Green beans, canned
Soft and mild with a light salinity, lacking fresh beans' snap.
Lens analyzedCanned green beans are whole or cut beans cooked and packed in liquid, softer and more muted in color than fresh or frozen beans. They're ready to heat and serve straight from the can once drained.
Where it comes from
Canning green beans became common in the early 1900s as a way to have vegetables ready year-round before home freezers were standard equipment in most kitchens.
Buying it
Choose a can with no dents or bulging, and drain the beans before serving to rinse away the flat-tasting packing liquid.
Storing it
Keep unopened cans in the pantry; refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container once opened.
Keeps about 2 years in the pantry.
