There are three essential
requirements for efficient home
freezing:
1. hlitid
quality.Freeze OI@
top-quality foods. Freezing retains
quality and flavor; it cannot
improve quality.
2. Speed. The quicker fruits and
vegetables are fionm after picking,
the better the frozen product will
be. You’llsave time, too, with less
Clllling and sorting to do.
3. Proper pacm Use food
wraps designed especially for
freezing.
