make your own frozen veggies

This idea came up when I wanted frozen red bell pepper and the grocery only had green pepper, red pepper, and onion mixed together -- two of the three aren't low fodmaps. I tried cooking with the combo anyway, and well, the results were painful.

You can find a few low fodmaps frozen veggies already packaged at the grocery: carrot coins, peas, green beans, spinach. But for more variety, buy low fodmaps veggies fresh and then take a moment to cut them up and put them in freezer storage bags.

My favorites are frozen zucchini, frozen red or orange bell pepper, and frozen bok choy. These are great in soups, Chinese, Italian and Mexican (not the bok choy but the others) and on pizza (the bell pepper is anyway). It's easy to do and also helps me not to waste fresh produce, which I very often forget about when it's way down in the crisper!
