There are threeessentialrequirements
for efficient home freezing.
1. Initiai quality. Freeze only top-
ql.lality foods*Freezingretainsquality
and flavor;it cannot i.rnprove quality.
2. Speed. The quicker fruits and
vegetabks are frozen after picking,
the better the frozen product will
be. You'llsave time, too, with less
culling and sorting to do.
