I freeze a lot of food for later use but have never thought to freeze some of these fruits. Has anyone tried freezing apples or cantaloupes? I’ve frozen bananas; they’re great for banana great but I wouldn’t eat them straight. I’ve tried freezing yogurt but there was a lot of complaining from my family about the change in consistency.
