Yes you can. I clean the green beans and snap the ends off and then put them in freezer bags and then put in freezer. You dont have to snap off the ends if you like them whole :0}

yes u can
Frozen beans will last between 12 and 18 months in the freezer.
Freezing is accomplished in a few very simple steps.
1) Choose the freshest green beans you can find.
2) Rinse your green beans in cool water. Drain.
3) Cut the ends of the beans off. Cut the beans to whatever length you prefer.
4) Put the green beans into rapidly boiling water, cover the pot and time them for 3 minutes. (You can re-use this water three to five times)
5) Use a large slotted spoon to remove the green beans from the boiling water and immediately plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Keep them in the ice water for 3 minutes. Drain them.
6) If you have a FoodSaver a great time to use it is right now. If you don't, put the green beans into ziplock freezer bags. Make sure you get as much air out of the ziplock bag as possible to help prevent freezer burn.
7) Get ready to enjoy farm fesh green beans whenever you want!

Yes you can. However I would suggest that you do a blanching first. Heres how. Place green beans in boiling water for 2 mins then immediately emerse in ice water for 2 mins. Then put into plastic containers or plastic bags and freeze. It will help the veggies keep there color and crispness.

You have to blanch them first which means boiling them for just a couple of minutes then plunging them into ice water to cool completely. Freeze them on a cookie sheet first so that they do not stick together then put them in freezer bags and freeze.

Yes. Put individual size servings in small zip-loc bags. Freeze and enjoy.

Pretty much if you can find it frozen in the grocery store, you can freeze them yourself at home.
