Why do frozen veggies get those icy white patches? That’s freezer burn. It happens when air hits the surface. It’s not dangerous, just ugly and flavorless. Like a bad haircut.
Here’s the trick: Pack them tight. Squeeze out all the air. Use vacuum-sealed bags or freeze in single layers. The less air, the longer they stay happy. Air is the enemy of ice.
Fun fact: That bag of peas from 2014 in your mom’s freezer? Technically safe. She will never admit it’s expired. She’ll call it “aged.” Don’t argue. Just eat the new bag.
