Green beans stored in the kitchen can turn rancid even if they are only stored for a few days. So, you can try the method below so that your stock of green beans remains long-lasting and odor-free.

1. Choose fresh green beans.

Choose green beans that are still fresh with a bright color and no signs of rot.

2. Good cleaning.

Before storing, make sure you wash the green beans with clean water to remove any dirt or dust that may be attached.

3. Dry well.

Make sure the green beans are completely dry before you store them. High humidity levels can cause green beans to quickly become moldy and smelly.

4. Store in a tight container.

Place the green beans in an airtight container or tight plastic bag to prevent outside air from entering them.

5. Store in a cool and dry place.

Avoid storing green beans in damp places or exposed to direct sunlight. Store it in a cool, dry place, such as in a cupboard or in a cool kitchen.

6. Check regularly.

Check the green beans periodically to ensure there are no signs of moisture or mold growth. If you find nuts that have started to spoil, throw them away immediately to prevent the rancid smell from spreading to other nuts.
