I have to blanche them first before freezing. I am not so sure about freezing just from fresh though. I have a feeling they would be soggy once you defrosted them!

I blanch them also. For cooking or adding to chop it works great!

Lucky you. If you want to go the old fashioned way I would can them. I did find on the net that you can freeze them whole.[Users must be registered and logged in to view attached photos or hyperlinks]
