I want to dig them up, clean them, cut off the tops and vaccum pack them whole. Will that work. I have ground them up and froze them and used them in carrot cakes and bars and they came out fine. Just wondering about leaving them whole. Lynne Quote \| Reply \| Report

They all thought I was nuts at first but I have converted those that try it. I did it out of ignorance but it's certainly the thing I do and like. But ummm I never thawed them and put them on a salad. Hope that works for you. I am unable to be on much these days but if it does please PM me. Quote \| Reply \| Report
