Can I freeze fresh fruit & vegetables for later use?
I prefer to use frozen fruit and veg from the store, as they are taken from the fields and processed immediately; many brands have their own processing plants on site! When they are frozen right out of the fields, it keeps more of the nutrients intact, making them even better than fresh a lot of times, as fresh travel far and are stored often a long time.Having said this, I do freeze my own sometimes to keep from having waste. I use plastic freezer storage bags or containers. Mostly, you just wash and dry the veg or fruit and then the best way is to lay it in one layer on a baking sheet and freeze. Then place in the preferred storage container. I don’t like to use foil, as it sometimes oxidizes and makes holes, leaving freezer burn.I love to use my freezer, because I can lay in a whole bunch of meals for lunch and I’ve made them!
