Never Put These Fruits and Vegetables in the Freezer: A Waste of Time, Effort, and Money

Not all fruits and vegetables will survive freezing.

Some housewives, without thinking, put everything they can into the freezer.

Trying to preserve taste and vitamins, many use all available means for this. But they are not always justified and correct. There is a list of products that should not be sent to the freezer.

For example, fruits and vegetables will not survive freezing, as their texture and organoleptic properties are destroyed by excessive cold.

Cucumbers and watermelon can be thrown away immediately after freezing. They will not have the same taste, and no one will want to eat them.

Potatoes don't belong in the freezer. The vegetable needs to be kept cool, but freezing is overkill.

The starch in the composition will change its properties, and the vegetable, when it melts, will simply turn into an unappetizing mass. The basement and cellar are the best places to store potatoes.

You should also avoid freezing large tomatoes, eggplants, and zucchini. They won't freeze completely, but they will lose all their flavor.
