I don't find beetroot and carrots freeze well.
Beetroot I'd keep in sand, or pickle.
Carrots I leave in the ground as long as poss, or store in sand. I sometimes sweat them with onion and then freeze. Or I freeze them blanched but only use for soups.
Runner beans : I chop into 1" lengths, blanch and freeze; don't have a problem doing this.
Tomatoes : being lazy, I've also been known to slice and freeze them, but would only use in recipes where they go to mush anyway, e.g. spag bol, curry, soups.
How about Tomato chutney, ketchup.... |
