◗Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli,

gases during storage. Therefore, they

must be stored in the freezer only.

Preparation Guidelines for Fruits:

When freezing soft fruits or berries in a FoodSaver Bag, it is best to pre- freeze for 1-2 hours or until solidly frozen. To freeze fruits in individual servings, place sliced fruit or berries on a baking sheet and spread out so the pieces are not touching. This way they will not freeze together in a block. Then vacuum package in portions for baking, or in your favorite combinations for easy fruit salad all year round.

Keep berries fresh longer in the refrigerator by repackaging them in a FoodSaver Canister. You can open the canister and take what you need for snacks or fruit salad, then reseal to maintain freshness.
