How to choose good green beans
- For green beans used in sweet soup, you should choose peeled green beans. When selecting peeled beans, make sure to pick those that are shiny, bright yellow, and have uniform size and color.
- You can check the freshness of the beans by pressing your finger into one; if it feels crisp and breaks easily without creating too many small fragments, then it is good green bean.
- Fresh green beans usually have a light, characteristic aroma. Avoid choosing beans with a musty smell or any strange odors.
- Avoid selecting beans that have black spots, a dull color, or uneven sizes. Particularly, do not choose green beans that show signs of being eaten by pests or have many black stones.
