Definitely worth trying. In the salsa, you could not tell it was frozen AT ALL (a 10). If it were thawed, then put in a salad, you'd be able to tell because it would be all mushy (like thawed frozen spinach). I would say it may lose a bit of it's flavor, but the flavor is still the same which is important. I used two cubes for the 5 medium tomatoes and it was perfect. You can see how verdent the leaves were even through the ice cube. My trick to retain the color was to dip the individual bunches into a large pot of boiling water for 10 seconds before <I>roughly</I> chopping then putting into the trays.Danielle (ldybug)http://www.blogger.com/profile/14112638800254846330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932214561355159990.post-33979534770849051892007-03-12T13:22:00.000-04:002007-03-12T13:22:00.000-04:00how's the frozen cilantro compare to the fresh? cilantro grows SO POORLY here -- just a couple months of the year, and even then it'll bolt. I planted some delfino cilantro from Pinetree -- it's supposed to be highly bolt-resistant... a bugger to start, but it's growing well in my garden now.<BR/><BR/>if freezing works well, i'll have to start doing that, too.Central FLA Gardenerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14864352622751585957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932214561355159990.post-81198150707131641632007-03-11T22:25:00.000-04:002007-03-11T22:25:00.000-04:00Sounds yummy!mistinoreply@blogger.com
