Green beans
Green beans, picked at the peak of perfection and frozen in bags, are delightful to have in winter. I serve them as a side dish, and sometimes, I add them to soups and stews. Be sure to harvest your beans before they get too old—even when they are picked fresh off the plant, overly mature beans are woody in texture.
