After scalding, cool vegetables immediately in 
coldest water available. Ice water would be fine. 
Drain thoroughly, but don’t let vegetables be- 
come too dry. Package in bags or containers, 
leaving a little space for expansion, and seal in 
cellophone bags. Convey to locker plants AS 
SOON AS POSSIBLE for freezing. If there 
is any delay in getting them to the freezing plant, 
keep them in an ice box, but freeze as soon 
possible for any delay in freezing means a loss 
of quality.
