I love Blue Lake Bush green beans from my garden boiled for a few minutes, chilled and then tossed with olive oil and lemon. But I’ve always really detested the taste of a typically canned green bean. I’ve heard that canning fresh from your garden isn’t the same taste. Can you opine on this?

thanks!

I grow Blue Lake beans as well and they are a true reliable and delicious bean. We just opened a can we canned to try it. It does taste a bit different, sweeter, but it certainly has a “canned” taste but less pronounced.
