Store fresh green beans in a perforated plastic bag in the refrigerator's crisper drawer to maintain their crispness and flavor. Avoid washing them before storage, as excess moisture can lead to spoilage. If you need to freeze green beans, blanch them briefly in boiling water, cool them in ice water, and then store them in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 8 months.
