Tips011 fDE%xhi-!gfbdk
There are three essential
requirements for efficienthome
freezing:
1. Initial qwdity. Freeze only
top-quality foods. Freezing retains
quality and flavor; it cannot
improvequality.
Newtechniquesareconstantlybeingdeveloped.
Consultthe Collegeor CountyExtension
Serviceor yourIocaiUtility Companyfor the
latestinformationonfreezingandstoringfoods.
*lJX. DepaflmentofAgricul
fure
Meats, fish and poultry purchased
from the store vary in quality and
age; consequently, safe storage
time in your refrigerator will vary.
~~ ~~~~~~~~frQz@nmeats, f%h and
pmdtl-y:
oAlways remove store wrappings.
G~ew~”apin foil, fi]m or Waxpaper
and refrigerate immediately.
2. Speed. The quicker fruits and
vegetablesare frozen after picking,
the better thtifrozen product will
be. ‘!OU’11 save time, too, with less
culling and sorting to do.
