Tesco Fresh Frozen Very Fine Whole Green Beans

I have just finished eating my evening meal it was a beef casserole with a serving of Tesco frozen very fine whole green beans.

I have these frozen green beans in my freezer after buying them at Tesco a couple of weeks ago. They cost 78p for the 1 kg bag.

I had opened the green plastic bag with a picture of a knob of butter melting on the pictures of green beans. I sealed it again for my freezer by putting a peg on it. If the bag is not sealed by a freezer tie or clip I find them loose beans get into my freezer.
These beans are thin long ones with the ends cut of so although some are broken they are not short pieces of cut bean but measure around 12cm / 5 inches long.
They are not a flat runner bean but a green bean with more of a cylindrical pod.

Now I cooked my green beans in the microwave for about 4 minutes. If cooked on the hob they do not need much longer. Full instructions are available on the bag. Do not cook to long as they go soggy and horrible.
Serving these beans I notice they have kept a fair green colour.

*Taste
Well they are frozen vegetables so do not taste as good as fresh green beans. They do taste fine though. They work well as a vegetable which is easy to cook. I can not really describe the green bean flavour in words.

* Recipes.
Well basically they go fine as a vegetable with most meat dishes I think they compliment bacon /ham/pork well.
I found a website with lots of recipes using frozen green beans including one for a vegetable bake or a green bean and sausage casserole.

*Nutrition
There’s not much in these beans no vitamins no fat only 21 cal per 80g which is about a serving

Basically these green beans are a good frozen vegetable.
