You freeze greens, berries, broths, leftover soup or minced meat, but after a couple of weeks you open the freezer and see the packages stuck together in one lump, the labels cannot be seen, and inside there is a block of ice with a hint of something edible. In the end, you throw it all away and get upset. And you can solve the problem in 30 seconds, even before putting the product in the freezer.
Take clear or masking tape and a marker. Before freezing, place a piece of tape on the bag or container. Write what's inside, the date of freezing and expiration date, for example, “up to 3 months.”
Ink on plain paper or markers smears due to cold and condensation. And the inscription on the tape remains clear even after six months.
Tip: freeze in portions. Pour the broth into silicone ice molds, distribute the greens into small bags, divide the minced meat into cutlet portions and freeze on parchment as a pancake. This way you can then take exactly as much as you need without defrosting the entire pack.
Thanks to this life hack, you can easily find what you need, use products on time, and stop throwing away food every month.

Question and answer:
Do I need to wash berries before freezing?
Yes, but be sure to dry it well. The moisture turns to ice and the berries stick together.
Why do greens clump together?
Because it is frozen wet and in a bunch. Dry, chop, divide into portions and only then freeze.
How long does frozen broth last?
Up to 3 months if sealed and signed. In cubes it is convenient to take one at a time.
