Why do you blanch food before freezing it?
Blanching is the scalding of vegetables in boiling water or steam. Blanching slows or stops the action of enzymes. Up until harvest time, enzymes cause vegetables to grow and mature. If vegetables are not blanched, or blanching is not long enough, the enzymes continue to be active during frozen storage causing off-colours, off-flavours and toughening. Blanching time is crucial and varies with the vegetable and size of the pieces to be frozen. Under-blanching speeds up the activity of enzymes and is worse than no blanching. Over-blanching causes loss of flavour, colour, vitamins and minerals.
Does freezing a enzyme affect it?
When an enzyme is frozen, it only slows down activity. Unlike boiling an enzyme, it does not stop it from working.
How does frozen pure water behave?
Pure water has a freezing temperature of 0 degrees and a boiling temperature of 100 degrees, unlike tap water which has impurities that can alter it's freezing and boiling point
Does boiling increase or decrease for the movement of particles?
No. The heat energy put into boiling water (for example) breaks bonds between the atoms; in other words, it gets absorbed as potential energy. When boiling, water at 100 degrees will turn to steam at 100 degrees. This is an example; the real temperature depends on the pressure.
Which contains the most thermal energy - a boiling pot of water or a frozen lake?
Frozen Lake
Are vacuum packed fruits or vegetables cooked or fresh?
Vacuum packed vegetables are blanched, which is a process of partially cooking them in boiling water. They do this because raw vegetables give off gases when stored. Vacuum packed fruits are uncooked when frozen.
Are frozen vegetables good for your body?
Vegetables which are frozen soon after harvesting retain most of their nutrients and so are good; however, boiling removes many nutrients. It is better to steam veg.
Once vegetables are thawed how long can you wait to cook them?

Why are vegetables quickly boiled before they are frozen?
AnswerA quick boil, or blanching, destroys the enzymes that cause the loss of nutritional value and flavor when vegetables are frozen.
What is the nutritional value of frozen vegetables?
There are pros and cons to fresh and frozen vegetables. Fresh vegetables can lose 10 to 15 percent of their nutrients during shipping from the grower, to the market and then to your table. Frozen are picked and processed soon after they are picked. Frozen vegetables will retain most of their nutrients. However if the vegetables are blanched (dipped in hot water for 5 minutes) to keep their color and texture, some nutrients are lost. 3 to 5 servings a day of vegetables is recommended.
