In Asian cousin it goes the same way. But it also says that salt helps to get rid of the bitterness of the leaves.

i used salad spinner to dry it of excess moisture to be freezed.

btw, does adding a bit of cooking oil in the blanching water (together with salt) helps ?



by heating them up, and chilling them down with ice.. this is really energy intensive... in plain words, wasting a lot of energy.. i am hoping there is a less energy consumption way of doing it.

I've read that blanching causes a substantial amount of nutrients to be lost. This is a huge drawback just to change it's color or texture.

If you suffer from hypertension, adding salt to the water will significantly raise your blood pressure.

Too much salt. Just one spoon is more than enough
