What do brown spots on green beans mean? A few brown spots here and there on a bunch of green beans mean they’re getting a little aged, and won’t be the freshest beans you’ll eat. But it doesn’t mean you can’t—or shouldn’t eat them. … Keep beans fresh longer (for up to a week) by storing them in a sealed zip-top bag in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator.
