How do you freeze cauliflowers and green beans? Do you have to blanch them first or can you freeze them without blanching?

I have never frozen cauliflower but I am sure you can find directions by googling. For the green beans, you blanch them about 3 minutes and them cool them in ice water to stop the cooking action. Bag them, getting as much air out as possible. I use a straw to suck the air out as suggested by many on here.

Follow Elaine S' advice and it's the same (3 minutes) for cauliflower but the florets and stems need to be cut into about 1 to 1 1/2 inch pieces. Assorted veggies need different blanching times but beans and cauliflower happen to both be the same.

Oh, one more thing! After the ice bath you want to pat the veggies dry. This helps reduce freezer burn.
