Blanching. Blanching (scalding vegetables in boiling water or steam for a short time) is a must for almost all vegetables to be frozen. It stops enzyme actions which can cause loss of flavor, color and texture. Blanching cleanses the surface of dirt and organisms, brightens the color and helps retard loss of vitamins. It also wilts or softens vegetables and makes them easier to pack. Blanching time is crucial and varies with the vegetable and size.
1 Keep heat high for the time given in the directions. 2  Cool immediately in ice water or cold water (60Â°F or below) for the same time used in blanching (except for corn-on-the-cob - see below)*. Stir vegetables several times during cooling.  Drain vegetables thoroughly.
