    Cook as if you were going to eat them or pickle them and either slice or chunk before freezing. If chunking for putting in curry I may not always cook as thoroughly.

    I have little success with brussels and don't bother freezing any.

    Thanks for the replies..  perhaps we should do a trial with blanched and unblanched peas and compare results.  I have already frozen a small quantity unblanched.

    Busy-Lizzie, Brussels taste disgusting from the freezer whether you blanch them or not. They stand on the plant through the winter and they are in the shops from September to March, so I wouldn't waste valuable freezer space on them.

    I don't freeze them, but when my son in law did, without blanching, they were inedible.

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    Well, if he had blanched them they would have been the same.



    Commercially frozen vegetables are different. They use blast freezers and the result is not the same.
