I am inundated with beams from my garden and have been blanching,prefreezing, vac sealing, freezing the last few days. After I blanched my last set of beans I lay them out to dry on a tea towel. I usually only have them dry for an hour or so but I fell asleep so the blanched beans have been on my countertop for over 8 hours. Is it safe to still vac seal these beans and freeze them?? I am assuming yes but not sure. TIA

I wouldn't be afraid of it. Look how long fresh green beans lay in grocery stores?

I'd freeze them, use them, and eat them.  |

I would absolutely freeze, them and eat them. They are vegetables, not meat or dairy.

I'd eat them now, not save for later
