Can green beans spoil

Answer 1

When you find pictures of naked brussel sprouts under their bed.

A serious answer:

Beans with any visible mold or fuzzy spots should be discarded, as well as any beans with spots of soft black or brown decay. Beans also can become dry and wrinkled as they get old without actually rotting. That is not necessarily harmful, but old wrinkled beans have lost most of their flavor and nutrients and should really be discarded in favor of fresh beans.

Answer 2

As with any canned food, if the ends of the can are bulging out, the can should be thrown out. Otherwise, if the green beans are discolored (turning brown), a strange consistency (mushy), or smell bad, they should be thrown out.

Answer 3

um. you taste it and you know its old. DUH some people are stupid sometimes..LAUGH OUT LOUD... DONT BE A LOZA... BYE

yea.....or you're dumb if you cook them WITHOUT knowing they're old...waste of time dipstick....NOW who's stupid?!?!?!

Answer 4

You know when your home canned green beans are bad when the bottle top is popped. When air enters the can the beans go bad. Just like any other product purchased in a store if there is a popping noise when you push your finger down on the top lid do not purchase because the container was comprimised.

Answer 5

They will have a blue mold on them. You can boil them 10 minutes to kill the germs aqnd taste them also.

Answer 6

Yes. Given the right conditions, any food could spoil.

Answer 7

Picking time is based on the size of the beans. They should be about 1/4 inch in diameter. Wait for them to get larger, and they can get tough and stringy.
