How to choose and prepare beans

For canning, healthy dense pods of young and middle age are selected. They should not be damaged - both mechanical and painful. The pods should be not curved, equally colored (green or light green), not have spotting.

Important! When choosing material for preservation, you need to make sure that pods with already formed grains do not come across. Such a product will be stiff, fibrous and will nullify all efforts to prepare it.

Preparation for canning consists of the following actions:

sort out the pods, choosing the highest quality;
rinse under running water;
cut off the ends of each of them.

Cans for preservation are thoroughly washed and sterilized in a steam bath. At the same time, it is better not to use detergents - the container is perfectly cleaned with baking soda.
