Freezing fresh food

Freeze fresh and undamaged food only.

To retain the best possible nutritional value, flavour and

colour, vegetables should be blanched before freezing.

require blanching.

Literature on freezing and blanching can be found

in bookshops.

Note:

Keep food which is to be frozen away from food which

is already frozen.

■ The following foods are suitable for freezing:

Cakes and pastries, fish and seafood, meat, game,

poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbs, eggs without shells,

raw, such as lettuce or radishes, eggs in shells,

grapes, whole apples, pears and peaches, hard-

is automatically restored.
