How To Prepare Rattlesnake Beans For Cooking
Rattlesnake beans may be stored in a loosely closed plastic bag up to one week in the refrigerator before use. When healthy & wholesome meals are desired, blanch approximately 8-ounces at a time then hold them in the refrigerator up to 2 days for use over salads & cold recipe applications. Once cooked, the vibrant green color looks beautiful on the plate & offers sound nutritional value as they’re excellent sources of fiber & vitamin C plus the beans are low in calories & carbohydrates.
The Technique
Pole beans have some of the toughest strings that should be removed in order to achieve the optimum texture. Snap approximately 1/3-inch away from the vine portion on each bean & allow the strings to naturally release from the side. Repeat this procedure with each bean & discard the small tips & strings. Cook the rattlesnake beans according to specific recipe applications.
