Store fresh string beans in a plastic bag in the refrigerator crisper drawer. They should last for about 3-5 days. Avoid washing them before storing, as excess moisture can cause them to spoil faster. For longer storage, blanch the beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain thoroughly and freeze in airtight containers or freezer bags. Frozen green beans can last for 8-12 months.
