Video Title: How to Blanch And Freeze Broccoli For Long Term Food Storage
To prepare broccoli for long term food storage we have create a step-by-step guide on how to blanch and freeze your broccoli harvest. We have harvested so much broccoli in such a short time, that we know we won’t be able to eat it all before it is no longer fresh.
We can’t just put it in a bag in the freezer long term because when we take it out and steam it, it will be wilted and have lost its crunch.
Instead we soak, blanch, and freeze in seven easy steps. This is one of the easiest vegetables to preserve, and it can last up to 6 months in the freezer. The best part is, this method helps it taste as close to fresh as possible.
What methods do you use for preserving your broccoli?
Summary
In this video you will:
1) Learn how to properly soak your broccoli in a salt water brine.
2) Learn how to blanch your broccoli.
3) Learn all the steps needed to best preserve that delicious broccoli
crunch and taste when you are ready to eat the vegetable.

Really appreciate how you constructively use ALL of broccoli and preserve nutrients. Thank you for your step by steps here.

Very nice, I do pretty much the same as you, so I know I'm headed in the right direction. A thing I do different is after the ice bath, I put the broccoli directly into a large salad spinner and remove the water that way. The broccoli comes out nice and dry. Then I put the broccoli on 1/2 sheet baking trays lined with parchment paper, separated out so they're not touching each other, then into the freezer for 5-6 hours, then into the bag. That way they don't stick together.

@lyonheart84 4 года назад

That's really high quality broccoli you are growing there. Makes sense to blanch and freeze your surplus 👍

@GutenGardening 4 года назад

Thank you so much. We were really happy with our harvest this year! Have a great day!

Just saw this after you posted it on one of the gardening FB pages - thanks so much for sharing, we're in winter currently, but this summer I'm wanting to freeze/preserve more of our produce, so this is great!

@GutenGardening 4 года назад

Thank you so much for watching and coming over from FB. We are trying to preserve as much as possible these days. We have a, hopefully, huge potato harvest coming up soon, so we are very excited to store all this food. Have a wonderful day, and stay in touch!

When doing this with store-bought stalks of brocolli - we omit the brine soak, right? Thanks!

@GutenGardening Год назад

Yes, that would not be necessary with store-bought.

@Rainman18 3 года назад

Wouldn’t the steaming alone kill any critters?

@GutenGardening 3 года назад

Great question! The steaming would kill them for sure, but then they would be stuck in the broccoli, and you would be eating them along with the broccoli. So the purpose of the saltwater soak is to get them to detach and come out.
