Can You Freeze Summer Squash Without Blanching?
Yes, you can freeze summer squash without blanching it. However, it is recommended to blanch it for 2-3 minutes before freezing to preserve its quality and texture. Blanching helps to remove any excess moisture that could cause freezer burn. Once blanched, drain and let the squash cool before packaging and placing it in the freezer. It can last up to eight months when stored properly.
