Tips

For fresh vegetables, blanch the veggies before vacuum sealing them: Add salt to a boiling pot of water and add ice to separate bowl with cold water. Put the veggies into the boiling water for a couple of minutes (so they are slightly cooked but still crunchy). Immediately after taking them out, put them into the bowl of ice water. Pull the veggies out when they have cooled, then vacuum seal them. When you're ready to use them, they will taste fresh and crisp.
