Seems great, but do those vegetables full of water keep a good texture after being in freezer?
Ginny McMeans
Yes they do Karyna. Just as you have to blanch vegetables before freezing. When you buy frozen vegetables from the store they have been blanched first - at least. That is a minimum of boiling according to the vegetables needs.
