Purple Queen beans are some of the most prolific producers. They are easy to see on the plants, what with their deep purple hue. Once boiled or steamed, they lose that purple and return to a more standard green.
But like the more traditional green beans, they come on all at once and voluminously! So if you decide not to just leave them out for the white-tailed deer, uproot the entire plant and let them dry in the sun.
We recommend blanching them before freezing.
