How Do I Freeze Fresh Vegies Without Them Going Soggy?

Freezing onions is easy - peel and cut off the ends - then slice or dice or chunk and place in plastic bags; seal and freeze! Take out just what you need for cooking. I freeze slices for adding to meats while cooking; the diced ones are great for stuffings/dressings and sometimes I freeze my own mix of diced green and red bell peppers and onions - saves so much prep time!

For green onions - clean well, cut off the bottom and freeze whole or cut the greens and whites - package separately if you want.


Depending on the onions - follow the "growth" table/instructions for the type of onions you are growing. Sometimes the bulb pops up from the suface of the soil showing some of the bulb - but it depends on the type of onion and how deep you planted them.

wonderful, wonderful! I didn't think there was anything special that needed to be done with onions before freezing them (other than preparing by chopping or whatever). It's good to get some reinforcements!

I double checked the grow chart thing on the onions and it says that they should be ready when the top dries up and falls off. So, that can't be hard to figure out, right??

I think you will do just fine with your onions and you'll be an expert in no time!
