Shelf Life Tips

• Refrigerate in covered container or wrap tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil or plastic wrap.
• To freeze: (1) Wash and cut into 1/2 inch slices (zucchini may also be grated); (2) Blanch (plunge into boiling water) for three minutes (steam grated zucchini for 2 minutes) and chill quickly in ice cold water; (3) Drain off excess moisture, package in airtight containers or freezer bags and freeze immediately.
• Freezer time shown is for best quality only — foods kept constantly frozen at 0° F will keep safe indefinitely.
