Content: Frequently Asked Questions
How long do you blanch vegetables? While blanching, you should keep in mind to take a taste every 30 seconds or one minute. Most vegetables take anywhere between 2 to 5 minutes to blanch, so you’ll have to be careful to get the taste just right. Can you freeze fresh vegetables without blanching? Technically, you can. But you shouldn’t try. In most cases, vegetables will turn darker and have faded or dulled coloring. On the other hand, if you blanch them beforehand, you’ll help them maintain their vibrant colors and nutrients, as well as put a stop to the enzymes that make them spoil. What foods can you not freeze? There are a few foods that you shouldn’t try to freeze or even to blanch for that matter.
