Freezing Fruits and Vegetables

HollyAnne

In light of COVID-19, I want to stock up on a couple of weeks’ worth of food at one time, but as I’m sure you are all aware, fresh produce doesn’t last very long in the refrigerator. Which fruits and vegetables are best to freeze, and how do you freeze them so that they don’t lose their nutritional properties? I want to do my part by not going out as much as I can.

HollyAnne you’d probably get better results by actually buying pre frozen vegetables rather then trying to freeze fresh. Given the situation we’re all in, this will be easier and you can still be vegetarian. A lot of the freezing process depends on the brand. Check the goods online to get more information.

I second @phenomlab when they say that buying already frozen produce will just be easier. If you really want to try freezing yourself, my family has had pretty good success with freezing blueberries, peaches and strawberries. But, buying them already frozen will be easier, and definitely cheaper.

I eat a lot of frozen vegetables and I like them. I don’t care for many of the brands of frozen fruit. What is everyone buying?
I have had good luck with freezing fresh strawberries and blueberries. We use a vacuum sealer and it works great.
