Tips011 fDE%xhi-!gfbdk

There are three essential
requirements for efficient home
freezing:

1. Initial qwdity. Freeze only
top-quality foods. Freezing retains
quality and flavor; it cannot
improvequality.

2. Speed. The quicker fruits and
vegetablesare frozen after picking,
the better thtifrozen product will
