The beans should be staked, and it is advisable to put in stakes before sowing as the roots of the beans are very brittle. Liberal watering is essential during growth, and mulching with well rotted manure is helpful. Tops should be taken off plants when they have climbed the stakes to make the plants more productive; also large pods should be removed every day or the plants will cease bearing.

Freezing Cut beans in pieces, not shreds. Blanch for 2 minutes, cool and pack in polythene bags. To cook, put in boiling water for 7 minutes. Storage time : 1 year.

Agape Goon — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 15:30:01 +0000

Since these are obtained from animals after slaughter they are not considered suitable for a vegetarian diet. Animal fats contain mainly saturated fats (see polyunsaturated fats)
