Has anyone heard of "dirty beans"freeze them straight from garden,thaw them,clean and snap when ready to cook?

Question

I was told they have a very good flavor when cooked.Just wondering if anyone has ever tried this and how well does it works.Sounds very convenient and easy.

Answer 1

Is that the same thing as just placing freshly shelled peas in a double bagged paper sack and freeze?  Someone told me I could shelled blackeyed peas, do not wash them, just double bag in brown paper sacks and freeze.  Which I did, I do not know the result yet....this all new to me....hope this info was correct.  Anyway..............I am not sure is this is the same thing you are asking about, if so, I would like some input on freezing in brown paper sacks too.

Answer 2

Haven't herd of that one. I always clean and snap mine then blanch them. 3 minuets boiling then ice water to stop the cooking at least 3 minuets. Then just bag them up and freeze them. I like this way because once i get all that done all I have to do is pull out a mess and put them on to cook they will taste as fresh as the day you pick them.
