Ep. 102 | How To Keep Green Beans Fresh for Longer – Simple Produce-Stretching Hacks!

My husband came to me recently telling me that it’s getting too expensive to eat plant-based, mainly due to the rising price of soymilk and other plant-based milks at our local grocery store. It’s true that the cost of these milks was rising, but then I listed off a number of ways we were still saving money eating this way. These included buying shelf-stable dried beans and whole grains, and not needing to buy raw meats and other animal-based foods that were also rising in prices.

But, what I didn’t get to tell him was this. There are also many other ways to save at the store when buying plant-based foods, and easy hacks you can use at home to get the most out of your produce and minimize food wastage. These will all go a long way towards stretching your shopping dollars, so you can save more money in the long run.

So how do you do that with green beans? I’m excited to share that with you today. In this episode, I’ll tell you about the results of an experiment I did last Fall to figure out the best ways to store green beans after bringing them back from the store, so you can get the most out of them with less waste. So, if you want to learn one smart way to make eating plant-based on a budget possible…even with rising food prices, join me on the inside!
