For most of us busy working while taking care of our family, our priority is to juggle between work and preparing healthy meals for our loved ones.But the predicament lies on the fact that we can't always use fresh veggies and meat products because of time constraint.
When it comes to food we want it to be healthy/full of nutrients. FREEZING is the solution for preserving food but it depends on every item.
uncooked pork belly= 4-6 months
uncooked ground meat=4 months
uncooked chicken=4-6 months
uncooked bacon=2 months
sausage or hotdog=2 months (depending on expiry date on pack)
stews/soups/casserole=1 month
cooked spaghetti meat sauce=1 month
cooked spaghetti noodles=1 month
bakery products=1 month
fruits=1 month
vegetables=1 month
NOTE:
You can always prioritize not to freeze food but in case you are really busy you can do so. However, always make sure that for good quality, you do freezing the moment you get home from the market or grocery.Make sure that veggies are blanched with hot water and let it cool before freezing. Make sure you put them in a freezing container. Make sure also to put them in a clear container so you can recognize them easily or maybe if you don't have one you can just label them.
