How do you freeze mustard greens and chard?

[agcj]

Is it possible to freeze these lovely greens? Or would they lose all their vitamins? How do you do it?
Thanks

bump anyone? I'd like to know too!

I've never tried freezing greens since they hold so well in my garden. So, I can't vouch for this, but I'd try approaching them like spinach. Maybe blanch a bit, bag 'em up and freeze. If you try it, please report back. I'd love to know if/how it works.

I've done this before by the method suggested by the pp--blanch (very quickly in boiling water, then into an ice water bath). I froze in small amounts in baggies. You can use where you would use frozen spinach but IMO they are not great on their own--better as a part of something else (lasagna, quiche, or what have you). When using them, try to squeeze a lot of the water out otherwise it might wreck your recipe.

We had tons of kale in the garden last year, and I froze a bunch like this. Checked the freezer, there are still a few baggies almost a year later! I guess that probably shows you that they are not at their yummy-est when frozen!

maybe they would be tastier frozen into whatever dish you like to add them too that freezes well...
