Hello dear readers of Irina Zaitseva's blog! I am sure that there are many vegetable lovers among you. Therefore, with special pleasure I will present to you today my favorite - green beans in the best possible light.

For cooking, we need asparagus beans. How is it different from just a pod? In short, asparagus is grown exclusively for obtaining green young juicy pods, and not for hulling grain. Today in the world there are a huge variety of varieties of such a vegetable crop.

At the break, asparagus beans are usually round in cross section, and their juicy pulp resembles thick jelly. In order to check the quality of the vegetable, take and break the pod with your fingers. If it is easy to do this and a characteristic ringing crack is heard in the process, then this indicates that our choice is correct.

How to cook fresh green beans quickly and tasty

Our today's heroine is cooked for only a few minutes. After cooking, you can very quickly and deliciously prepare dishes from it, both for a regular everyday breakfast and for a festive table.

Heat treatment has a rather gentle effect on the nutritional properties of the product. After it, about 80% of the vitamins are retained.

A few cooking secrets

• Before cooking, rinse the raw materials, remove the "spouts" and "tails".
• If there are hard side fibers, then they also need to be removed.
• Cut or break the pods into 3 - 5 cm pieces.
• The prepared product should be placed in boiled water, which can be slightly salted.
• The cooking process should be short - only seven to ten minutes.
• Try the pods carefully so you don't burn yourself. If they are already soft, but still retain some elasticity and "resistance to teeth", then you should turn off the fire.
• The boiled pieces should be immediately placed in ice water and then dried on a clean towel. This will help maintain a vibrant color and crisp texture.
• Place the young green beans in the vegetable soup, taking into account the cooking times of all other vegetables.
