the broad beans that i froze last year had tough skins when cooked, do you think i should have blanched them first? they kept well otherwise and tasted fine if i popped them out of their skins, but its such a bind to do that every time. any suggestions would be helpfull, thanks.

I always double pod them .
I always pop the skins off.
you're going to have to pod them
You should really always blanche any veg before freezing, it helps retain the colour and some vitamins - you'll have to de pod again as mamy and fluff said
And ummmm said.!!!
Really everything should be blanched (veg) but broad beans taste perfectly fine after 12 months without it. The skins are tough because they were well matured when picked. If they are picked before they get fully matured they're perfic!

thanks everyone, out of their skins they come then, we always try to freeze them young but they do tend to all come at once, and we sometimes can't get round to them quick enough, so some of them may have got to big,
