Depends, useage and brand. I use frozen green beans in stir frys, not
defrosted and they turn out perfect, better than raw home growns...
and if you stick to the premium brands they are excellent. Sam's Club
sells their house brand in four pound bags, small whole grean beans,
perfect for stir fry. I enjoy them in a spicey oriental sauce:

I grow a lot of green beans too but it's a lot of labor to pick out
just teh small ones, it's much easier to find the larger ones... I
like to eat the home growns marinated.
