Everyone knows that you can easily extend the shelf life of any product by freezing it.

But, as it turns out, not all food products can be put in the freezer.

For example, you shouldn't freeze lettuce leaves, otherwise it will be impossible to eat them.

In addition, do not carry out this procedure with milk, yogurt or sour cream. When defrosted, they will lose their unique taste.

It is also important to remember that it is prohibited to put canned or bottled soda in the freezer.

Vegetables and fruits that contain too much water are not suitable for freezing. This includes cucumbers, citrus fruits, and watermelons.

You can't leave potatoes in the freezer, otherwise they will quickly become soft and the taste will be unpleasant. At the same time, it is permissible to freeze pieces of this root vegetable, but they must first be boiled a little.

It is important to remember that you cannot refreeze food, especially if it concerns meat, poultry or fish.

Previously we talked about how to properly freeze prepared meals.
