Final Notes

You must remove the strings before cooking. The strings will affect the texture of the beans after cooking and they will be hard to digest. Green beans must be fully cooked, otherwise, it may cause food poisoning. To prevent food poisoning, you should process green beans before cooking. Fully cook them in boiling water or hot oil until the color has changed. Then you can enjoy them safely.
