ANSWER:Boil them for at least 5 minutes. Then cool them fast in an ice bath. Then freeze them in ziplock bags. This cooks the outer hull and keeps them from getting destroyed by the freezing.

Beans should be blanched before freezing to stop enzymatic action. This simply means steaming or boiling them for 2 to 3 minutes. Then dry them off and place them on a cookie sheet in the freezer. When they are frozen, place them in a freezer bag. By keeping them separated during freezing, you will avoid having them end up one big clump that you cannot separate later.
