Most housewives have already learned to freeze not only vegetables for the winter. Greens are used - dill, onion feathers and garlic shoots.
Arugula is also one of the useful plants. Let's try to figure out whether it can be frozen for the winter and how to do it correctly. It's not as simple as it seems.
As experienced housewives say, before freezing this plant, you need to learn some secrets, otherwise after defrosting the foliage will be slippery and unpresentable in appearance.
Option 1
1. It is best to harvest after the dew has dried.
2. Greens bought at the market will have to be washed and then dried on a towel.
3. Then the greens are placed whole in bags or containers, and then the shock freezing function is used.
This option is not suitable for everyone, because not every refrigerator has this option. But here the leaves do not lose their structure.
Option 2
It is also possible to make a paste from the plant.
It can be used in the process of preparing sauces, soups and other dishes.
It couldn't be easier to prepare. You need to chop the leaves with a knife or blender (but not finely). Add salt, mix, compact and you can put it in the freezer.
In any case, you need to be prepared for the fact that after defrosting, the arugula will not be as bitter and pungent, but all the vitamins and aroma will be preserved.
