No, I just chop up the fresh veggies and stir in some quinoa to absorb some of the moisture before freezing. Mush every time! Even when using the vacuum sealer. I’m freezer impaired!Are you blanching the veggies prior to freezing?
Nothing i have ever prepred and frozen has been eaten by the girlsI must just not know how to get things to freeze well. When I make chop and freeze it, it comes out as grey colored mush! Oh well...looks great! I'm glad Bebe has such a well-stocked freezer!
I will have a look at that later when i get this work lark out of the way.If you are using a leafy vegetable, do you blanche those as well? Like Kale?
Edited to say, I answered my own question! I'm so proud! Lol!
I have found a University of Minnesota extension webpage that says yes to blanche the leafy greens, too! Plus it gives various blanching times for different vegetables. I didn't realize it was so complicated!

So do you cut to a certain size blanch and then cut again so is chop size ?If you are using a leafy vegetable, do you blanche those as well? Like Kale?
