Freeze Dried Green Beans

This product exceeded my expectations, which were already pretty high, after looking at the picture above. They look just as good delivered as they do in the picture, and the flavor is great even eaten "as is", as enthusiastically tested by my very picky 3-year old and my 2-year old. When re-hydrated, the beans have the aroma, texture and flavor of frozen green beans. I am very happy to have found this product, because I like frozen green beans better than canned green beans, and I have lost all my substantial inventory of frozen green beans twice due to power outages. Now I have a shelf-stable product, and can re-hydrate as little as one bean, or enough for a steam table pan full, with no waste. A note on density: the 15 pound-bulk box filled 5 of the standard-sized 6-gallon buckets with the inside also containing a ziploc mylar bag, and I had 8 quart jars left over to put directly into the cupboard.
