Blanching

Cooking methodsFruit and vegetables are often blanched when they are fresh, this involves putting them very quickly in boiling water and then in ice water to stop the cooking process. The food can then be frozen, thus preserving more of the vitamins and colour.

Vegetables such as spinach or cabbage are often blanched, as this takes away the bitter taste which can sometimes be found in these foods. Tomatoes, peaches, nectarines and almonds are much easier to peel when they have been blanched.
