Cum să congelezi porumbul pentru a rămâne proaspăt și dulce mai mult timp? Trebuie să îl fierbi înainte • Newsweek România
To freeze corn effectively and maintain its sweetness, it should be blanched first. Fresh corn loses flavor quickly after harvest due to sugar conversion to starch. It's best to freeze corn on the same day it's harvested or purchased. The corn should be fresh, with moist green husks and plump kernels. After removing the husks and silk, the corn should be blanched in boiling water to halt enzyme activity that affects flavor and texture. Once cooled, the corn can be packaged in small portions for freezing. It's important to remove as much air as possible from the bags to prevent ice formation. Proper labeling and maintaining a consistent freezing temperature of around -18°C are essential for preserving quality.
