How long do you normally cook beans?

Put the beans in a pot and boil them for about 10 minutes. Usually when you see the beans open, they are ready. I cooked them for 8 minutes at home, but they won't be too bad. If you prefer them cooked, you can cook them for another 2 minutes, turn off the heat, and let them soak for a couple hours before eating.

How to recognize the good and bad of the hairy beans

Four

Fresh hairy beans are easy to cook and crispy, with a good taste. When buying, pay attention to whether the hairy pods are fresh and whether the cuticle of the pods is shiny. Fresh pods are firmer and have 2-3 beans per pod. The beans should be green or greenish-white, tightly wrapped by the translucent seed coat (the white membrane around the seed), and squeezed by hand with the juice flowing out. Unfresh snap peas are often soaked in water. If the pods are yellow and fuzzy, the pods crack easily, and the beans separate from the seed coat when peeled, the beans are not suitable for fresh eating.

A final reminder, cooked hairy beans in the refrigerator, refrigerated hairy beans taste better.
