Freezing fresh food

Freeze only fresh and undamaged food.
Food which is boiled, fried or baked is
more suitable for freezing than food
which is raw.
Before freezing food, make preparations
appropriate to the food in order to retain
the best possible nutritional value,
flavour and colour:
Vegetables: wash, chop, blanch.
■
Fruit: wash, pit and perhaps peel,
■
possibly add sugar or ascorbic acid
solution.
Information on how to do this can be
found in the relevant literature.
