So I found a place that shows you how long you can keep food in the freezer. I must say, since I have got back on track with recovery - and trying to get my house back in order because of the bad health before hand - we use the freezer second in line to other food storage. Canned goods are first, freezer second, then refrigerator is third. I was interested in reading the article about storing food because it affects us, and I want to make sure we have fresh items after buying bulk!!!
We have a huge bag of carrots, a huge bag of celery, and several peppers and other things to store and I wanted to put dates on the bags as I placed them in - and the time they should be used. I was very happy to know that most veggies can last quite some time in the freezer if prepared properly. Remember those two words, prepared properly!! There is a wonderful guide on freezing veggies at this location link. It's a great site for a lot of ideas too, so enjoy! Garden Guides
If you would like the direct link for the freezer information here it is: Freezing Veggies Guide. I'm the kind of person who, after glancing over a given link, goes to the main page and sees what else is there while I'm visiting!
I have a large bag of carrots to do, some celery, as I mentioned, some more bell peppers, and a few potatoes this time around. I think learning how to do this will help me plan my meals much more efficiently and it speeds up the production in the food department.
Enjoy the link! May your freezer love you for it!
