To keep yardlong beans fresh, store them unwashed in a perforated plastic bag in the refrigerator's crisper drawer. They typically stay fresh for up to 5 days. Avoid washing them before storage, as excess moisture can cause them to spoil faster. For longer storage, blanch the beans briefly in boiling water, cool them in ice water, and freeze them in airtight containers or freezer bags.
