How to Freeze Fresh Foods

• Foods to be frozen must be divided
into portions according to a size to
be consumed, and frozen in separate
packages. In this way, all the food
should be prevented from being re-
frozen by thawing.
• In order to protect the nutritional
value, the aroma and the color of
the foods as much as possible,
vegetables should be boiled for a
short period of time before freezing.
(Boiling is not necessary for foods
such as cucumber, parsley.) Cooking
time of the vegetables frozen in this
way is shortened by 1/3 than that of
the fresh vegetables.
• To extend the storage times of
frozen foods, boiled vegetables
must first be filtered and then
hermetically packaged as in the all
types of foods.
• Foods should not be placed in the
freezer compartment without
package.
• The packaging material of the food
to be stored should be air-tight, thick
and durable and should not deform
with cold and humidity. Otherwise,
the food that is hardened by
freezing might pierce the package.
Sealing the package well is also
important in terms of securely
storing the food.
The following packaging types are
suitable for use to freeze the food:
Polyethylene bag, aluminum foil,
plastic foil, vacuum bags and cold-
resistant storage containers with
caps.
