I subbed fresh shell beans for the Marinated Chickpea Salad with Lemon and Swiss Chard and ended up with a dish somehow even better after a day in the fridge.

What splendid beauties they all are, the many varieties of fresh shell beans, both in their pods and out.

If we're talking shell beans, like favas, it's it's best to shell them before freezing, but even those beans will benefit from an initial freeze on a sheet tray before freezing together.

But there were also failures: fava beans, edamame, shell beans, artichokes, peaches, plums, cherries - none worked out.

Late-summer produce to dry/dehydrate: apples, cherries, corn, figs, grapes, hot and sweet peppers, mushrooms, okra, peaches, pears, plums, shell beans, smaller tomatoes.
