Freezer-Safe Glass Containers (No Plastic Lids!)

Freezing is a great way to preserve surplus food and lower your grocery bill. And, properly frozen vegetables are nutritious, versatile, and they taste good, too. On the hand, food that has been exposed to air in the freezer is less nutritious, plus it often looks, feels and tastes bad. To prevent this from happening, always store your vegetables and fruits in airtight packaging with as little air trapped inside as possible. Just keep in mind that if you're freezing foods with a high moisture content, you'll have to leave some headspace in the container as liquid expands when frozen.
