vegetable blanching guide
Because of the gasses they emit over time, cruciferous
vegetables should be kept in the freezer rather than refrigerator
after vacuum sealing. These vegetables include broccoli,
cabbages and Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, collards, kale,
kohlrabi, rutabagas and turnips.
Mushrooms need to breathe and should never be sealed in
plastic. The best way to store mushrooms is to place them in a
brown paper sandwich bag and keep them in the refrigerator.
