Has anyone experienced very strong smelling and tasting green beans?

I picked out some green beans at my supermarket two days ago. I hand pick smaller, straight ones.

After I got them home and was putting into a zip lock veggie bag, I noticed a strong, almost chemical smell. This morning I took them out of the bags, washed and took off the ends, then dropped into boiling water for 5 minutes. The strong smell was awful. They taste like a green bean but so strong. I am mixing them with roasted red and yellow bell peppers and onions with some EVOO, salt and pepper. I hope they don't ruin the dish.

 
Strange! I think I would take them back to the store and ask them for an explanation.

Hey, with all the really unripe and processed stuff we get, maybe they're SUPPOSED to taste like that! What a concept smileys/smile.gif
