freezing vegetables?

I suppose, as those items cook very quickly, and presuming any stock is at boiling/simmering point, they would be OK - but I wouldn't be putting anything like carrots / swede / parsnip into a SC whilst still frozen.

This is a really handy thread, I get a vex box and sometimes life gets in the ways of me using it all up, the freezing veg for stew idea is great!

Just as an add on to the topic, I was looking at some reduced pre-prepared veg(sweet corn/broccoli/carrot mix) in Asda yesterday, but it had 'not suitable for home freezing' on it. Why? Surely it's veg and can be frozen?
I normally bulk freeze celery, peppers, cauliflower. Tried onion once but even though triple bagged and in a plastic box the whole freezer reeked!

I've never blanched anything in my life, that goes for shop bought or home grown stuff. I tend to make up a few "stew" packs every so often so that I can just wack them in the slow cooker!
