So, have you NOT blanched green beans before freezing???
Grandma this is how we do corn. We usually get 4 trimmed ears per gallon ziplock baggie. Best if you can vacuum seal though. The silk slides right off when you defrost them also.

IF I freeze grn beans, I blanch first. Rarely freeze them. I prefer canned for those.

Now I bet you can hardly wait to prep corn to freeze next yr :lol: :lol: cut stem end to where ear starts. Cut silk end to where kernels start. Remove only very outer shucks, the loose ones. Done. I use a large heavy plastic bag for 2-3 dzn in it. Those shucks are tight, great protection. You could have had those done in an HR or two, not most of day. Your welcome! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘

Been doing this way for yrs -- eating it & still alive ๐Ÿ˜
