Having a constant stock of vegetables is essential to a healthy diet, but if you want to have them around when you need it (without going to the grocery store every other day, it would take a little bit of prep work).
Prolonging the shelf life of veggie
Freezing the veggie is one of the best ways to keep the freshness of the veggie and prolonging the shelf life. First don’t mind if you do some blanching!
Blanching is the key
Since vegetables have enzyme actions that are constantly changing the flavor. We would recommend blanching it before freezing it to preserve the taste and the freshness during the storage in the freezer.
However, blanch must be done just right : not under or over blanch for the best result.
Keeping it zipped
Once you have your vegetable blanch, let it cool down and zipped it up for the freezer with a Ziplock bag.
There you have it, keeping the vegetables fresh until you feel like going for your next grocery trip by BLANCH & FREEZE !
