Freezing has gained rapid popularity because it's such an easy method of food preservation. Frozen fruits and vegetables are noted for their fine color and flavor. Here are a couple of pointers to help ensure that your home frozen foods will be of high quality. The condition of a fruit or vegetable before it's frozen largely determines its quality when served. Freezing doesn't improve flavor, texture or nutritional value. Therefore you should always select fresh foods of high quality. Packaging is also important. If the containers do not completely prevent the passage of moisture or air, your frozen foods will lose their moisture to the cold, dry freezer air. Suitable containers for frozen produce include the heavy duty plastic bags especially labelled for freezing, heavily waxed cylindrical and plastic freezing containers sold commercially, or flexible plastic containers in which you purchased a frozen food or dairy product. Waxed milk cartons sealed tightly with freezer tape are satisfactory for short term storage of a couple of months only. Try to avoid glass containers as they're liable to crack and break when they're removed from the freezer. If you do use glass, be sure to leave 1 inch of headspace at the top of each jar. Of course you must also prepare the foods properly before they're packaged and stored. For information on the best methods of preparing our various fruits and vegetables, contact your Provincial Dept. of Agriculture extension home economist, or write for a free copy of the Agriculture Canada booklet "Freezing Foods". Requests for "Freezing Foods" should be directed to Information Division, Agriculture Canada, Ottawa. <1mn 50s>
