Give the bag a good shake after a few days and they will remain separated. I use the dwarf varieties for flavour and volume~~ also freedom from blackfly. Blanched vegetables I find quite unappetising~ Brussels~ horrible!! Best Wishes Brian. |

What blanching does is destroy some of the natural enzymes in the material that can produce 'off' tastes after long storage in the freezer. I don't blanch any of my produce for freezing, but try not to keep it too long, and to use it in rotation. Cheers, Chris in Somerset |

The message

However, if you allow for a senior moment, just substitute 'blanch' for the first 'freeze'. Personally, I would never freeze any vegetable without blanching: there are some (food poisoning) bacteria which may be present in vegetables which will multiply even at freezer temperatures. -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |
The message
from "Peter Stockdale" contains these words: Incidentally - what is the purpose of blanching ? Certain food-poisoning bacteria are present in some vegetables (I don't know which, or whether it's a lottery whether they're there generally), and the bugs you blanch to kill will multiply in very cold conditions - not very fast, but the potential is there if the food isn't eaten fairly quickly. -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |
