4. Wash The Sugar Snaps
- Fill the bowl containing the sugar snaps with water to wash.
- Don't fill the bowl with water at the top to prevent the sugar snaps from falling down into the sink.
- Using one or both hands, pick up some sugar snaps and then drop the sugar snaps back into the water. Repeat about three to five times.
- Using the pick up and drop technique, water is being moved around the bowl. The power of the moving water removes the dirt from the green beans.
- The dirt removed from the sugar snaps is on the bottom of the bowl.
- Suggestion: Use a taller bowl or pot to clean the sugar snaps because the taller height better separates the sugar snaps and the dirt settling on the bottom.
