I freeze everything, except lettuce!. All fruits can be froze, just sprinkle some fruit fresh on it so it don't turn brown!. You can find it in the canning section of your store!. Veggies, I just put then in the bag and try to get as much air out as I can and seal and freeze!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
As a rule of thumb, I don't freeze fresh vegetables and fruit!. Its much cheaper to buy less, and use up items in the fridge as necessary!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
