Have you ever wondered if something could be frozen and still taste good after? I have, particularly when going out of town and having things in my fridge that would spoil before I got back. So here is the list of freezables:
- Milk
- Lemons and limes
- Cheese (like cheddar, not soft cheese)
- Avocados
- Spinach, other greens and herbs
Some things won’t be useful for regular use, like milk, but you can use them in recipes. Milk looks lumpy after being frozen but works just fine in coffee or recipes that require cooking. Avocados can be thawed and made into guacamole. Spinach and other greens can be steamed or stir-fried in a little olive oil. I shred the cheese and use it in nachos and things I’m going to cook. Package things in freezer-proof paper or plastic bags. Press out the air. I like to double wrap them to help prevent freezer burn. I use an old-fashioned ice cube tray to freeze mint in water and use it in iced tea.
