To freeze vegetables in individual servings, first place
on a baking sheet and spread them out so they
are not touching. This prevents them from freezing
together in a block. Once they are frozen, remove
from baking sheet and vacuum package vegetables
in a FoodSaver

Bag. After they have been vacuum
packaged, return them to the freezer.
IMPORTANT: Due to the risk of anaerobic bacteria,
Fresh mushrooms, onions, & garlic should never
be vacuum packaged.
