You can store long beans so they don't rot and last longer in the following ways.
1. Choose fresh nuts.
Choose fresh long beans when buying them. Make sure there are no signs of damage or rot on the beans.
2. Store in a cool and dry place.
Long beans should be stored in a cool and dry place. Avoid damp places because this can speed up rotting.
