REASON There may be dead worms mixed in with the product.

That's why I like to can and freeze my own.

Does home canning give more food value to the worms?

[Joking]

Home cooked/canned is the best and only way to go today.

It totally blows my mind that we depend on China (where just a few years ago they couldn’t feed their own population) for such a low value product as string beans.

Guess it is a supply thing... There used to be many canneries around here, but over the years they have gone by the wayside. I can think of at least 6 within 20 miles of here that have closed in the last 25 years. So, I guess we have to depend on others to eat.

Of course some of us don’t as we grow and preserve our own.

Oh, my string beans are up!
