Harvest season is starting to come to a close around here. For us, that means we have more vegetables than we could possibly eat so we have been freezing them so that we are stocked up for the zombie apocalypse....or winter. Whichever. ;) In this tutorial, I am using green beans but the process is basically the same for any type of vegetable.
I know some people who just wash their veggies and stick them in the freezer but by doing that the vegetables lose their nutrients and flavor over time. It is best to blanch them first so that they keep all of their farm fresh goodness. That is what I am going to be talking about today.
