Freezing fresh food

more suitable for freezing than food
which is raw.

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.
