Canned green bean

Canned Green Beans are whole, cut, or sliced lengthwise (French style).

Storage

 * Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place off the floor.
 * Avoid freezing or exposure to direct sunlight. Sudden changes in temperature shorten shelf life and speed deterioration.
 * Store opened green beans in a tightly covered nonmetallic container and refrigerate. Use within 2 to 4 days.

Uses
Serve canned green beans heated, or use in a variety of main dishes, soups, and salads.

Preparation

 * Canned green beans should be heated only to serving temperature and served soon after heating. Do not boil or overcook.
 * Add flavor to canned green beans by seasoning with herbs and spices, including caraway, dill, or sage.
 * Serve green beans in combination with other vegetables, such as whole kernel corn, red peppers, cauliflower, broccoli, or onions.
