Grated zucchini in a package for the winter in a quick way

Dishes made of zucchini are not only tasty, but also incredibly useful, light food that will suit everyone who follows their figure. In the midst of the summer season, a dietary vegetable is cheap and available, but in the winter it is not. But there is a way out, freeze the grated zucchini in the bag.



Now you can not worry about even the most abundant harvest. At any time of the year you can cook juicy and lush pancakes from grated zucchini, delicate casseroles, vegetable pizzas and many, many other wonderful dishes.

Freezing zucchini begins with the preparatory stage. To freeze zucchini, you need to choose the right fruits, clean them, rub and, if necessary, squeeze from the juice.





It is better to choose young zucchini with a thin skin and without seeds. Selected vegetables were washed in running water, removed contamination, peduncle and place of attachment of the flower. If the skin is already hard, it is better to peel it.





Packages or containers can be used to freeze grated zucchini, as well as other products. It's a matter of taste. I like zip-lock packages better.

Prepare everything you need in advance: vegetable cleaning, bowl, packages. Strangely enough, speed is important in this case. Clean the zucchini from the skin (if necessary) and sodium on a large grater.





Important! Immediately, the second you rub the zucchini, move it into a bag and close it on the clasp. If there are several zucchini, do the work in stages. One rub — folded, removed and so on.





All these tricks we need in order to zucchini did not have time to let the juice. If he still managed to do this, the flesh will need to be squeezed.

If you give grated zucchini to let the juice or not thoroughly squeeze it, then in the process of freezing they will stick together in a single lump.

To prevent this from happening, in half an hour remove the packages from the freezer, shake well, mixing the contents. So the vegetable mass will retain looseness.



In a bag with a clasp, it is logical to put as much grated zucchini as you need for one time. Their contents are conveniently distributed in a flat layer and fold packets in the freezer on top of each other.





You can put a simple plastic bag into the container, fill it with a grated vegetable just below the edges of the side, slightly tamp, wrap the edges of the package and close the lid. It also does not hurt to sign when the preparation was made.

Grated zucchini perfectly freeze both in the usual refrigerator freezer (12-18 degrees of frost), and in the freezer with boxes for deep freezing of products. They can be stored for up to 10 months. Freezing re-thawed zucchini is not recommended.



Before use, grated zucchini must first be thawed, drained and only then added to the dough or used in any other way according to the chosen recipe.

As it turned out, harvesting grated zucchini is very helpful when you want vegetable pancakes, and there is no time to mess with the grater. Pulled the bag out of the freezer, made pancakes in two counts, and you're happy. Bon appetit and be healthy!
