Can You Freeze Arugula Without Blanching?
Technically, you can freeze arugula without blanching it, but it is not recommended as the texture and quality may be affected. Blanching helps to preserve the color, flavor, and texture of the arugula before freezing. Without blanching, the arugula may become wilted and tough. If you have to freeze arugula without blanching, be sure to use it in cooked dishes rather than raw salads.
