I use them when the pods are going yellow but  are still rubbery/ soft.
The beans are frozen, I know what aj means about energy, but doing it this way they cook a lot quicker. So swings and roundabouts!

My thoughts exactly.  I freeze 'beans inside beans' regularly and they only need about ten minutes in boiling water (or soup) or a bit longer in the steamer.  It is nice to throw a handful from the freezer into a batch of pasta sauce (which is more of a tomato based veg stew in our house), without the faff of having to reconstitute them overnight.

Happy to send some that do well here, but need your address if you would like some.
