Blanching
times
range
from
1
to
2
minutes
for
leafy
greens
and
peas;
3
to
4
minutes
for
snap
peas,
sliced
zucchini,
or
broccoli;
5
minutes
for
carrots;
and
7
to
11
minutes
for
corn
on
the
cob.
After
blanching,
immerse
vegetables
in
cold
water
to
stop
the
cooking
process.
Finally,
dry
vegetables
on
a
towel
before
vacuum
sealing.
Note:
All
vegetables
(including
broccoli,
brussels
sprouts,
cabbage,
cauliflower,
kale,
turnips)
naturally
emit
gases
during
storage.
Therefore,
after
blanching,
they
must
be
stored
in
freezer
only
When
freezing
vegetables,
it
is
best
to
pre
‐
freeze
them
for
1
‐
2
hours
or
until
solidly
frozen.
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
seal
vegetables
in
a
Bag.
After
they
have
been
vacuum
‐
sealed,
return
them
to
the
freezer.
IMPORTANT:
Due
to
the
risk
of
anaerobic
bacteria,
Fresh
mushrooms,
onions
and
garlic
should
never
be
vacuum
sealed.
Preparation Guidelines for Leafy Vegetables:
For
best
results,
use
a
canister
to

leafy
vegetables.
First

and
then

or
salad
spinner.
After
they
are
dried,
put
them
in
a
canister
and
vacuum
seal
as
normal.
Store
