Storage Guidelines

Commercial storage guidance for fresh snap beans (green, yellow wax and purple types) and long beans, which HB66 says have similar requirements. Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Keep beans away from ice and water, which cause translucent water-soaked areas on the pods. Highest freezing point: -0.7°C. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
