Freezing foods is one of the best and safest ways to preserve foods throughout the year. This technique is especially true when considering the scale of the holiday season’s bounties. An Alabama Cooperative Extension System expert has the answers about how to properly freeze foods.
Why freeze food?Janice Hall, Macon County Extension coordinator, said freezing is one of the safest and easiest preservation practices in long term storage.
“When foods are frozen, it stops any bacteria from growing and possibly spoiling foods,” Hall said. “For example, ground beef stored in the refrigerator can last for about two to three days before it begins to show signs of spoilage. If you freeze the same ground beef, it will last in the freezer for up to three months.”
