FREEZING of garden leek.
Leek retains its taste and aroma well when dried and frozen. Plants (after removing the covering leaves) are washed by immersion in water and dried. Leaves and "stalks" are cut into pieces 2-3 cm long, blanched for 4-5 minutes, cooled first in air, then in a refrigerator, placed in plastic bags for storing food, or plastic boxes. The bags are sealed or tied and placed in the freezer of the refrigerator.
The leek is frozen at a temperature of + 15 + 18 ° C, and the frozen product is stored at temperatures from -18 to -5 ° C for six to eight months.
Frozen leeks are used for soups, main courses and pasta. It is recommended to simmer it (without thawing) for 8-10 minutes. It should be noted that when freezing fruits and vegetables, including onions, the content of vitamin C is reduced by half (or more), and further destruction of ascorbic acid occurs during heat treatment, therefore the biological value of frozen products is much less than that of fresh vegetables. from the repositories.
