Preparing Vegetables 
for Freezing 
Fz indicates varieties suitable for 
freezing. 
1. Use only the finest vegetables 
obtainable. 
Prepare and freeze vegetables 
as quickly as possible to pre- 
serve the vitamins, texture and 
flavor. 
3. Seald vegetables by placing in 
colander, strainer or similar 
container and immerse in rap- 
idly boiling water. Use only 
small quantities so water will 
come to boil within half a min- 
ute after vegetables are added. 
Count only the time that the 
water is boiling. Drain quickly. 
4. Cool by immersing immediately 
in cold water, preferably ice 
water. When vegetables are 
thoroughly cooled remove and 
drain. 
5. Pack in suitable airtight con- 
tainers such as waxed card- 
board cartons, tempered glass 
jars or lacquered tin cans. AIl- 
low 1 to 1% inches space for 
expansion in freezing. 
6. Place in quick freeze immedi- 
ately after packing. 
Asparagus. Wash and cut into 
desired lengths, blanch 2 to 3 
minutes. 
Green Lima Beans. Shell and scald 
1 to 1% minutes.

to 3 minutes, whole ones 3 to 5 
minutes. 
Corn on the Cob. Husk, trim and 
wash. Scald, a few ears at a 
time, for 1 to 2 minutes. Chill 
thoroughly in ice water, drain 
and wrap each ear in parch- 
ment paper or moisture proof 
locker paper. THAW before 
cooking. 
Whole Kernel Corn. Husk, trim 
and wash. Scald on the cob 2 to 
3 minutes. Cut from cob, pack 
dry and seal tightly. 
Peas. Shell and immediately scald 
for 1 to 1% minutes. 
Spinach. Blanch 1 to 2 minutes, 
a small quantity at a time. 
Avoid cooking. Stir gently while 
in the boiling water to prevent 
sticking together. 
Zucchini. Use young tender squash. 
Wash, remove blossom ends, 
slice in sections 1 inch thick, 
seald 14% to 2 minutes. 
Note: In each case in the above 
directions it is understood that 
scalding is to be followed by drain- 
ing, chilling, packing and quick- 
freezing.
