Last year I discovered non blanching of runner beans produced nicer tasting beans than blanching them.  This year I have french beans in excess.  So are they better blanched or not?

It must be a matter of taste - I prefer blanched beans.

Trying them both ways and make up your own mind - is the only thing to do

Personally prefer Blanched, but I do think it comes down to individual preference!
